Figure 1. Chest radiography demonstrated a normal-sized heart with dextrocardia, right-sided gastric air bubble, aortic knob and descending aorta. The left hemidiaphragm was higher than the right one. This picture was compatible with situs inversus totalis. A 57-year-old woman was well in the past. She suffered mild dyspnea for 2 years. On physical examination, she was found to be normotensive ...

contralateral pneumothorax crossing the midline in a patient with autopneumonectomy can mimic bilateral pneumothoraces on chest radiography. in this study, we report a rare case of right pneumothorax mimicking bilateral pneumothoraces in a patient with left autopneumonectomy. a 37-year-old man complained of progressive chest pain and dyspnea. the initial chest radiography revealed visible visce...

Objective To evaluate the preference of observers for image quality of chest radiography using the deconvolution algorithm of point spread function (PSF) (TRUVIEW ART algorithm, DRTECH Corp.) compared with that of original chest radiography for visualization of anatomic regions of the chest. Materials and Methods Prospectively enrolled 50 pairs of posteroanterior chest radiographs collected w...

In the field of respiratory medicine, chest radiography and chest CT have to date been the main modalities of imaging used in routine medical care. The word tomosynthesis is formed from tomography and synthesis, tomosynthesis is a kind of digital tomography which is an imaging modality capable of reconstructing a coronal plane section of arbitrary height from a single tomographic scan 1) . The ...
