Imaging interpretation in trauma

CXR (ABCDEF)
  • Identify : ผู้ป่วยชื่อ => exposure, quick look
  • Airway :  Trachea, bronchi: deviate?
  • Breathing :  
    • Pleural space; ลม-น้ำ? subcutaneous emphysema
    • Lung parenchyma: infiltration (pulmonary contusion, hematoma, aspiration)
  • Circulation : Heart size, mediastinum
    • [Signs of aortic rupture: wide mediastinum > 8 cm at T4, mediastinum chest width ratio > 0.38, fx 1st-2nd ribs, obliteration of aortic knob contour, tracheal shift to right, pleural cap, Rt bronchus ยก + shift ขวา, Lt bronchus โดนกด > 140 degree จาก trachea, obliterate space pulmonary artery & aorta, NG shift to Rt at T4, loss of paravertebral pleural stripe, massive Lt hemothorax etc.]
  • Diaphragm:  Sharpe?: ยก > 4th rib, disrupt -> stomach & bowel in lung, มองไม่เห็น -> มี fluid or soft tissue บัง
  • Exposure:  
    • Bony & soft tissue -> clavicle (vv.), scapular (vv., lung contusion)
    • Rib 1st -3rd: airway, vv.
    • Rib 4th- 9th: lung contusion, pneumo-hemothorax
    • Rib 10th -12th : spleen, liver, kidney
  • F Tube & line: ETT, ICD, central line, NG, monitoring


C-spine lateral cross table (ABCDE)
  • Adequacy & Alingment : เห็น base of skull -> C7 ต่อ T1; kyphosis, loss of lordosis, Ant vertebral line, Post vertebral line, facet joint line, spinous process line
  • Bone : Vertebral body, spinous process
  • Cartilage : Facet joint
  • Disc : ไม่แคบ ไม่กว้าง
  • E : Prevertebral soft tissue ( C1 < 7mm, C7 < 14 mm)


CT brain
  • ผู้ป่วยชื่อ……..film CT brain axial with/without contrast
  • Focus ตาม clinical finding ก่อนแล้วอ่านจากนอก ->ใน
  • Scalp : Contusion, swelling
  • Skull : Depress skull fx, open fx, suture line
  • Sulci/gyri : Symmetry?, Asymmetry (acute subdural: crescent shape; acute epidural: lens shape)
  • Cerebral/cerebellar : เปรียบเทียบ density & symmetry: ICH, contusion (punctuate area, high density), diffuse axonal inj(scattering area of contusion & low density
  • Ventricle : Size & symmetry (esp. Lat ventricle), IVH, decrease size -> intracranial hypertension
  • Shift : วัดระหว่าง Lat ventricle จาก cista galli Ant -> tent-like projection posterior (inion) if > 5mm: mass lesion need Sx
  • Maxillofacial : Facial bone, sinus, mastoid air cell, air fluid level -> fx base of skull, cribiform plate fx

*****Increase density “4C” : contrast, clot, cellularity (tumor), calcification
