Some thoughts on Chest X-Ray interpretation in the COVID era (thread)...
1. Peripheral consolidation is now the first thing to look for. Can be really tricky with overweight patients and AP films. Comparing to prior, looking for asymmetry and inverting the film can help avoid overcalling
2. Unilateral consolidation can be difficult to call as definite COVID so will always need to correlate with clinical picture (fever, CRP, lymphocytes) - new peripheral consolidation and having bloods open has helped sway decisions as a radiologist...

Just finished an on call. Very different to the last on call I did with a clear change in the landscape and a sharp rise in number of COVID-19 cases. A few observations from the last two weeks:
1. The vast majority of proven PCR positive patients that required hospitalisation have shown bilateral consolidation on admitting CXR. Smaller number started as unilateral consolidation and progressed to bilateral. One started as normal CXR.
2. In some, swabs have needed to be repeated before becoming positive. When can you truly call a patient ‘negative’? Given long turnaround time for PCR results is there a role for a clinicoradiological scoring system involving CRP, lymphopenia, CXR +\- CT

It is a bit ambitious to try and sum up the magic of MRI physics in one post but here goes! (Thread 1/11) #foamrad #meded #radiology #mri #foamed
Hydrogen atoms are abundant in all of us and are all made up of a single positively charged proton

Each proton has its own magnetic field

When placed inside a magnet (such as within an MRI scanner) the magnetic fields of the protons line up with the main magnetic field (2/11)
Whilst lined up the protons aren’t completely still but rotate 🌀(or ‘precess’) along the axis of the magnetic field

(3/11)
