    Harlem Hospital Center Department of Radiology Residency Training Program CHEST RADIOLOGY: Goals and Objectives ROTATION 1 (Radiology Years 1): Resident responsibilities: • ED chest CTs • Inpatient and outpatient plain films including the portable intensive care unit radiographs • Consultations with referring clinicians MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE: • Residents must demonstrate knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognitive sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care. At the end of the rotation, the resident should be able to: • Identify normal radiographic and CT anatomy of the chest • Identify and describe common variants of normal, including aging changes. • Demonstrate a basic knowledge of radiographic interpretation of atelectasis, pulmonary infection, congestive heart failure, pleural effusion and common neoplastic diseases of the chest • Identify the common radiologic manifestation of thoracic trauma, including widened mediastinum, signs of aortic laceration, pulmonary contusion/laceration, esophageal and diaphragmatic rupture. • Know the expected postoperative appearance in patients s/p thoracic surgery and the expected location of the life support and monitoring devices on chest radiographs of critically ill patients (intensive care radiology); be able to recognize malpositioned devices. • Identify cardiac enlargement and know the radiographic appearance of the dilated right vs. left atria and right vs. left ventricles, and pulmonary vascular congestion • Recognize common life-threatening

The velocity can be up to 500mph 4 Cough/Sputum Defense mechanism to prevent aspiration- cough center stimulated- cough begins with deep inspiration to 50 % vital capacity- maximum expiratory flow increases coil - decreasing airway resistance- glottis opens wide and takes in large amount of air - glottis then rapidly closes - abdominal and intercostal muscles contract- increases intrapleural pressure - the glottis reopens- explosive release of air the tracheobronchial tree narrows rips the mucous off the walls = sputum 1 3/3/2016 Chronic Cough Defined (AACP, 2016) Effects of cough that prompts visit Talierco & Umur, 2014 Acute Sub-acute Chronic Fatigue 57% Cough Cough 3-8 Unexplained chronic less than weeks cough(UCC) Insomnia 45% 3 weeks Excessive perspiration 42% Cough lasting greater Incontinence 39% than 8 weeks in 15 yo or older MSK pain 45% Cough lasting greater Inguinal herniation than 4 weeks in Dysrhythmias those under the Headaches age of 15 Quality of life questionnaires are recommended for adolescents and children (CQLQ) Work loss Data Institute (NCG) (2016) Cough Referral to Pulmonology 80%-90% chronic cough Most common symptom for PCP visits in the U.S.
