s/l stoney sutures?? - belle
Posted: Jan 15, 2012
FILMS OF THE CHEST, 2 VIEWS COMPARISONS: ___ [DATE]. HISTORY: (s/l itus), congestive heart failure. FINDINGS: A problem with the cardiac silhouette is noted. (s/l stoney) sutures are present. Thoracic screw fixation is noted of the distal thoracic spine. Surgical clips are noted in left upper quadrant. Mild blunting is noted in the left costophrenic angle suggesting atelectasis. No focal areas of consolidation are identified.
maybe "sternal sutures" - sigher
[ In Reply To ..]as for the history, it looks like the first word was partially cut off.
This doesn't sound right - sm
[ In Reply To ..]"A problem with the cardiac silhouette is noted" does not sound right to me.
Go back and relisten, and see if you can hear "prior film of" or "PA and lateral of...."
Or maybe "A prominent cardiac silhouette..." nm - sigher
[ In Reply To ..]xx
that sounds very fitting, very appropriate - good thinking

[ In Reply To ..]I agree, it sounds funny....Im going to have a listen again now with "fresh ears" hahaha
Hi Belle, I think sigher (above) got it right with - prominent
