Instructional Goal:
•The Introduction to Chest Radiography web-based tutorial will enable the student to apply knowledge and skill to identify and label the anatomy and possible pathologies of the thorax.
Performance-Based Goals:
1.At the end of the web-based tutorial, the students will be able to identify thorax anatomy with 95% accuracy on a written examination.2.At the end of the web-based tutorial, the students will be able to identify the location of the anatomy of the thorax on a diagram with 95% accuracy on a written examination.3.At the end of the web-based tutorial, the students will be able to identify pathology of the thorax with 90% accuracy on a written examination.

Identification of thorax anatomy is essential for the successful learning of the elements associated with chest radiography. This lesson will identify anatomy of the thorax and provide a definition of each anatomical term.
Labeling the correct location of thorax anatomy on a radiograph is required to demonstrate full knowledge of the anatomical parts associated with chest radiography. This lesson will identify the proper location of essential anatomy within the chest.
Understanding and identifying pathological conditions within the thorax is very important. This lesson will define and identify three pathologies associated with the thorax.

Pneumonia PneumothoraxPleural Effusion
Common pathologies of the thorax pertinent to radiography are pleural effusion, pneumonia, and pneumothorax. Click on the links below to learn more about each pathological condition and how each are presented on a chest radiograph.
A pleural effusion is a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity.
To visualize a pleural effusion on a radiograph, click here.
The circled area on the chest radiograph illustrates the buildup of fluid in the left lobe of the lung. To adequately view this on a chest radiograph, the image must be taken with the patient in an erect position.
Pneumonia is a breathing (respiratory) condition in which there is an infection of the lung.
To visualize pneumonia on a radiograph, click here.
The area within the square shows lower right lobe pneumonia. If a patient has pneumonia, the technologist must increase the radiographic technique to efficiently penetrate this area and produce a quality image.
A collapsed lung, or pneumothorax, is the collection of air in the space around the lungs. This buildup of air puts pressure on the lung, so it cannot expand as much as it normally does when you take a breath.
To visualize a pneumothorax on a radiograph, click here.
This radiograph shows a complete pneumothorax of the left lung. You will notice there are no lung markings on the left side of the patient’s chest. The black area with no lung marking is indicative of a collapsed lung. The best way to view a pneumothorax is by taking the x-ray on expiration.

Identify the correct film that illustrates a pneumothorax.
A BChoose the correct answer by clicking on the box next to the correct letter.
This film illustrates a pleural effusion in the left lung. The fluid is the white area on the left side of the lung and is filling the base of the lung causing it to be round instead of having a sharp angle.
Please Try Again
This film illustrates a pneumothorax of the entire right lung. Notice the right lung is completely black with no lung markings present.
Identify the correct film that illustrates pneumonia.

This film illustrates a pleural effusion in the left lung. The fluid is the white area on the left side of the lung and is filling the base of the lung causing it to be round instead of having a sharp angle.
CORRECT!CORRECT!
This film illustrates a right lower lobe pneumonia. Notice the white area in the right lower lobe. This is indicative of pneumonia.
