CXR description:
CXR erect
Crescent shaped air under diaphragm
Normal X- ray Abdomen
Description
Randomly distributed air
“ no Anatomical detail “
X ray AP view Abdomin
Air pushed up indicate :
Large mass “ appear as round large o pacification “
Most common cause of small bowel obstruction is ……
Modality X ray Abdomen AP view
Supine …..
Erect….
Adhesion
Supine appear valvula conniventis “ coil spring sign”
Erect appear multiple air fluid level “ step ladder sign”
Large bowel obstruction
X ray supine description:
X ray abdomen AP supine : Haustra “ incomplete mucosal fold away from each other “
Describe
X ray lateral decubitus position
Pneumoperitonium
Crescent air between lateral border of the liver , chest wall & diaphragm
- used in small pneumoperitonium & sick patient “
Rigler’s sign & Falciform sign
Seen in
Wall of stomach & Falciform ligament
- pneumoperitonium
“ X ray Abdomen AP view “
Best modality for Diagnosis of pneumoperitonium:
CT scan
Then
X ray lateral decubitus position
CXR PA view erect

Medical importance of porcelain Gall bladder “ Calcified G.B wall “ :
Precancerous condition
Barium swallow
Normal esophaugus show normal indentation because of
Arch of Aorta.
…………..: normal oesophagus finding in old age
Barium swallow
Cork screw esophagus
Disc space
Intravertevral Disc are ( opaque / lucent ) in plain radiograph
Disc space narrowing either due to …. Or …..
Lucent ( disc space )
By compare disc space with each other , can detect disc space
Narrowed due inflammation or degenerative process
Preferred diagnostic test for disc herniation
Raised leg test ( 30-70” ) !
MRI T2 sagital spine
Axial spine
Show hypointense IVD , herniation at left lateral disc
Dx:
L4 L5 dehydrated lumbar disc herniation
Vertebrae inflammation = spondylitis
Can be due to :
-
-
Difference :
TB “ intracellular ; need cells ,which need blood “ affect body of vertebra , sparing Disc = spondylitis
Staph aureus “ no need for Blood”
Affect body of vertebra & disc = spondylodiscitis
Vertebra vascular , disc Avascular
MRI T1 saguaro spine with IV contrast
Show 2 consecutive vertebral enhancement in B
DX:
Spondylodescitis
How TB spread from one vertebra to another :
Paraverbral abscesses
Multiple ring enhanced lesion on sides of vertebra below kidneys on MRI T1 coronal spine
Not affecting disc “ spondylitis “
