RADIOLOGY: PA and Lateral Chest---NVM!!!! - TMEFG


Posted: Nov 19, 2009

Alone in-house today and need a little help.

"There is a vague nodular density overlying the anterior first rib approximately 15 mm which suspect is a bone island.  The patient will be recalled for lordotic, reverse lordotic,  and infused cone of the apices."

Not sure of the bolded part and even less sure about the word apices.

Thanks!

He repeated himself a little clearer later on in the dictation.  He said:  "The patient will be recalled for lordotic/reverse lordotic views over the apices."

I think it is fine except for "infused cone". I could be wrong though. Can you hear "___ curve"?

More - Horski

I am thinking "infused" is more like "views" and cone is maybe curve?

is that they are going to do an infusion of contrast for the x-ray.

apices (plural of apex) the highest point; the vertex.
