Chest Radiography: Basic Principles
Blackest
air
fat
soft tissue
calcium
bone
X-ray contrast
metal
Whitest
Maximum X-RayTransmission(least dense tissue)
Maximum X-Ray Absorption(densest tissue)
X-ray photon: Absorbed / scattered / transmitted X-ray absorption depends on:
• Beam energy (constant)• Tissue density

Differential X-Ray Absorption
Why we see what we see:
Structures are visible on a radiograph because of the juxtaposition of two different densities creating an interface
Silhouette Sign
Loss of an expected interface
No boundary can be seen between two structures because they now are similar in density

Consolidation / Air-Space Opacity
Caused by filling of alveoli with fluid, pus, blood, cells (tumor), etc.
May be diffuse, or isolated to segments or lobes of the lung
May be associated with air bronchograms (air-filled bronchus surrounded by opacified lung)

• Cavity: caused by tissue necrosis, (inflammatory and/or neoplastic)
Characterize:
• Wall thickness at thickest portion
• Inner lining
• Presence / absence of air / fluid level
• Number and location

Basic Radiology for the TB Clinician
Summary: Remember: Technical quality
can significantly impact your CXR interpretation
Develop a systematic approach (and use it every time!)
Practice identifying normalCXR anatomy
Important to characterize and describe lesions—this can help with your differential diagnosis
Whether typical or atypical
TB can always fool you!
