كيف تفرقوا بينهم ؟
👇
1_ ركزوا على ال lung lower borders في حالة ال Lobecomy حتلقوا فيه اختلاف كبير في ال level بين الجهة اليمين و اليسار.

🟨Most likely DX

هادي lt upper lobecomy

تشبه هلبا ال lt upper lobe collapse

كيف تفرقوا بينهم ؟

ركزوا في lt lung lower border و شوفوا كيف في ركبة فوق ف هادي lt upper lobecomy 💭💡

كيف تفرق بيناتهم ؟

عينك على ال apex of the heart
لو كانت واضحة / حتكون lobe collapse
او lobecomy 💡💬

لو كانت مش واضحة (ما تبانش كويس) / معناها lobar pneumonia 💡💬

🟨DD توا ال
Lobe collapse
Lobecomy

كيف تفرق بيناتهم؟
1_نشوف ال lower border of both lungs لو فيه اختلاف كبير في ال level معناها lobecomy و لو مافيش معناها lung collapse.

2_بال Examination
لو لقيت Scar معناها lobecomy
لو مافيش Scar معناها lobe collapse.
