Chest X Ray tutorial17:58
Learn to read chest X-rays by identifying left-right orientation, diaphragms, and the cardiac silhouette, then evaluate exposure, view type, and findings like pleural effusion or consolidation.
X Ray of Pneumothorax2:04
Identify left-sided pneumothorax on chest X-ray by observing increased lucency, absence of bronchovascular markings, and the delineation of the collapsed lung margin.
Lung Collaspe6:17
Identify lung collapse on chest x-ray by the removal of air and white appearance, distinguish it from consolidation with air bronchograms, and recognize pneumothorax and blocked airways as common causes.
Chest X Ray of Emphysema/ COPD1:59
Learn to recognize emphysema on chest X-ray by identifying increased lucency, widened rib spaces, a tubular cardiac silhouette, and flattened diaphragms.
X Ray Consolidation of Lung4:23
Learn how x-ray consolidation occurs when alveolar air is replaced by fluid or pus, making the lung appear white, with air bronchograms and typically no tracheal shift.
Interpretation from X Ray6:12
Learn to interpret chest x-rays and diagnose left-sided pleural effusion, right upper lobe consolidation, right middle and lower lobe pneumonia, and left-sided hydro pneumothorax using tracheal position and opacity patterns.
Pulmonary edema17:01
Pulmonary edema presents as fluid in interstitial and alveolar spaces, with cardiogenic and non cardiogenic types, caused by left ventricular failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and heroin abuse.

Description

This is a complete course of Chest Xray Imaging which comprises of 40 mins of crisp and very well explained lectures by Dr Sangita Choudhury, a consultant physician who is much interested in teaching and sharing knowledge.The use of real Xray images and explanation using hand written language has made the course more interesting and meaningfull.Dr Sangita has described about all the technical points of Chest Xray, how to identify the view, proper positioning of the patient, correct exposure and about how to identify and comment on different anatomical structures from chest xray i details. The learners will also learn about how to identify the common lung pathologies, how to differentiate between similar looking lesions in the chest xray, how to diagnose different pulmonary diseases from chest xray.Use of simple language and interactive lectures has made this course quite easily understandable and interesting.

This course will be very useful for those who are interested in medicine, those who are undergoing medicine coaching, MBBS, MD or Superspeciality courses. It will also be useful for those who are already practising medicine, for those who are interested in human physiology, nursing staffs or paramedics, the imaging technicians or anybody who is intetested to learn about imagings and its usefullness in identifying different diseases.

Who this course is for:

Medical students
Physicians
Clinical practitioners
Paramedical staffs
Imaging technicians
Anybody interested in imaging/xray
