Morphological basis of radiological band shadows on chest radiographs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lungs of unselected cadavers were fixed at necropsy using a formalin vapour technique. "Band shadows" were identified in the excised lungs and these were correlated with in vivo radiographs and with the morphological changes in the lung. Persistent shadows were produced by pulmonary infarction, subsegmental atelectasis, and septal fibrosis singly and in combination. Potentially transient shadows were seen in association with atelectasis and pulmonary oedema.

Studies in chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. 2. Radiological findings.
The characteristics and the incidence of changes in plain chest radiographs were analysed in detail in 50 asthmatic patients with chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in whom the diagnosis had been made from 2 to 25 years previously (mean duration 10-9 years). One thousand two hundred and forty-two chest radiographs, an average of about two per year per patient, were reviewed. Two hu...

Some two years ago it was observed that the incidence of massive shadows in chest radiographs of coal-miners suffering from rheumatoid arthritis appeared to be unduly high. The observation was thought to warrant further investigation. From June, 1950, to April, 1952, of about 14,000 claimants for pneumoconiosis disablement benefit seen at the Cardiff Pneumoconiosis Medical Panel, 51 were found ...

متن کاملMulti-scale Morphological Image Enhancement of Chest Radiographs by a Hybrid Scheme
Chest radiography is a common diagnostic imaging test, which contains an enormous amount of information about a patient. However, its interpretation is highly challenging. The accuracy of the diagnostic process is greatly influenced by image processing algorithms; hence enhancement of the images is indispensable in order to improve visibility of the details. This paper aims at improving radiogr...
متن کاملDetection of Rib Shadows in Digital Chest Radiographs
We propose a method for detection of rib shadows in chest radiographs that uses the knowledge of human anatomy of the thorax. Information present in the radiograph is then suitably extracted to enable the detection procedure. The method is simple but heuristic in nature and the implementation is quite fast. Details of the proposed method and the results are presented.
