Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD)
20
hyperplasia of mucous glands, hypertrophy of smooth muscle and thickening of bronchial wall due to long term exposure to heavy cigarette smoking or high levels of industrial air pollution causing irritation of mucous lining of bronchial tree and viral infections

21
condition of which lung aveoli become distended usually from loss of elasticit. Characterized by an increase in the air spaces distal to terminal bronchioles with destruction of alveolar walls

28
pleural effessions that are caused by a mass of cells and fluid that has seeped out of blood vessels or an organ, especially in inflammation
exudates
29
pleural effusions resulting from micro vascular changes such as those associated with heart failure or ascites (filtrate of blood that accumulates in the tissues outside the bloood vessels and causes Edema)

nasal discharge, headache, tenderness over the affected area, a
toothache, and/or general malaise
33
adenoids that are usually considered benign but are included in WHOS classification of lung cancer because tends to invade local tissue and sometimes metastasize to regional lymph nodes

coin lesion
36
By use of what radiographic posion can body structures such as the clavicles be removed from apices of the lungs
lordotic
37
sail sign in an infant is commonly associated with enlargement of the?
Thymus
38
Posterior medial spinal masses most commonly originate from ___ tissue
nervous
39
an infant born after only 6 months of gestation could have?
respiratory distress syndrome
40
lack of respiratory function of lack of proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange best describes
respiratory failure
41
which of the following is the most common type of bacterial pneumonia
pneumococcal pneumonia
42
Loss of leastricity of the bronchial walls as a result of bacterial infection may result in?
bronchiectasis
43
pulmonary fibrosis resulting from occupationally inhaled dusts is characteristic of?
pnuemoconsiosis
44
an accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity is known as an?
empyema
45
the most common etiology factor in the factor in the development of bronchogenic carcinoma is?
cigarette smoking
46
primary computed tomography findings of COVID 19 show?
ground glass opacites
Bronchovascular thickening
Crazy Paving appearance
47
explain how technical exposure factors must be changed to compensate for additive and subtractive pathologies of chest. give example of ea
additive path of chest would be pneumo and subtractive would be COPD. additive needs higher technique and subtractive needs less.
48
specifics reasons for obtaining chest radiography taken in the erect position at 72 inch Sid
reduce heart mag by decreasing heart OID and to demonstrate air fluid levels and allowing diaphragm to drop to normal position and not interfere with organs
49
what specialized radiographic projection of the chest is used to demonstrate TB. why is this projection of benefit
lordotic chest X-ray in order to look at scarring under the clavicles in the apices of the lungs
50
COPD includes both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. compare and contrast these conditions and how they both can be considered COPD
COPD refers to disorders that cause chronic airway obstruction. Chronic bronchitis results from chronic exposure to irritants leading to hyperplasia of the mucous glands, hypertrophy of the smooth muscle and thickening of the bronchial wall. Over time, this results in bronchial obstruction from excess secretion of mucus. Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli become permanently distended from loss of elasticity and is characterized by an increase in the air space distal to the terminal bronchioles with destruction to the alveolar walls.
51
metastasis to the lungs from other primary tumors occurs via 5 routes. what are they?
Metastatic lung disease occurs from the primary tumor by the following routes: hematogenous (blood stream), lymphogenous (lymph system), direct extension in local invasion, bronchogenic (tracheobronchial system), and direct implantation (biopsies or other local surgeries).
