Chest x ray - basics
This document provides information about chest x-rays, including:
- Wilhelm Röntgen discovered x-rays in 1895 and they are a form of ionizing electromagnetic radiation ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
- A radiograph is an x-ray image obtained by placing the patient in front of an x-ray detector and illuminating with a short pulse. Detectors include film, scintillator, and semiconductor diodes.
- When reading a chest x-ray, assess penetration, inspiration, angulation, and rotation before examining the airways, bones, cardiac silhouette, diaphragm, lungs, and hila.
Chest x rays
Here are the main radiologic signs of collapse:
1. Loss of volume - The affected lobe or lung appears smaller in size compared to the contralateral side.
2. Increased radiolucency - The collapsed lobe appears whiter than normal lung tissue due to loss of aeration.
3. Loss of vascular markings - The normal bronchovascular markings are obscured in the collapsed area due to loss of lung expansion.
4. Mediastinal shift - The mediastinum shifts towards the side of collapse to occupy the space left by the collapsed lung.
5. Displacement of fissures - The fissures adjacent to the collapsed lobe are displaced or obliterated.

Reading x rays
The document discusses x-rays and how they are produced and used. It explains that Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays in 1895 while experimenting with cathode rays. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation produced when high-voltage electrons interact with a metal target. X-ray film contains silver halide that darkens when exposed to x-rays, allowing radiographic images to be viewed. The document also covers x-ray positioning terminology, different body positions used for x-rays, and factors that define a technically adequate chest x-ray.

Chest X ray ppt.ppt
Chest X-rays provide important diagnostic information by visualizing the lungs, heart, bones and soft tissues. The document outlines key elements to evaluate on a chest X-ray including patient details, image quality, projection, inspiration, rotation, penetration and anatomy. Proper evaluation of these technical factors ensures accurate interpretation. Ten structures are identified: trachea, hilar structures, lungs, pleura, costophrenic angles, hemidiaphragms, heart, mediastinum, soft tissues and bones. Abnormalities should be described in detail and the most striking found first before checking the rest of the image.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

- 3. introduction • What are x-rays? • X-rays: a form of electromagnetic energy • Travel at the speed of light • Electromagnetic spectrum – Gamma Rays – X-rays – Visible light – Infrared light – Microwaves – Radio waves
- 4. Three things can happen • X-rays can: – Pass all the way through the body – Be deflected or scattered – Be absorbed
- 5. X-rays Passing Through Tissue • Depends on the energy of the x-ray and the atomic number of the tissue • Higher energy x-ray - more likely to pass through • Higher atomic number - more likely to absorb the x-ray So • X-rays that pass through the body to the film render the film dark (black) • X-rays that are totally blocked do not reach the film and render the film light (white) • Air = low atomic # = x-rays get through = image is dark • Metal = high atomic # = x-rays blocked = image is light (white)
