STUDY PROTOCOL:
Axial high-resolution scans were performed from the thoracic inlet down to the upper poles of the kidneys.
History: Complaints of fever, chest pain, breathlessness, vertigo and knee pain.
FINDINGS:
Both the lungs are normally aerated and are applied to the chest wall on all sides.
There are no focal intrapulmonary nodules, patchy opacities, calcification or cavitation.
The minor and major fissures are well delineated with no evidence of fissural displacement.
The distribution of the bronchial and vascular structures within the lungs is normal.
The mediastinum is centered and of normal width. There is no evidence of masses in the anterior, central or posterior compartments.
Mediastinal contents including the trachea and its bifurcation, thoracic aorta, the main pulmonary artery and its branches appear normal.
The hilar region on each side is unremarkable.
The heart is orthotopic with normal configuration. The cardiac chambers are of normal size.
No significant pericardial thickening / fluid collection seen.
No significant lymph node enlargement identified.
No significant pleural thickening / fluid collection seen.
The axillary and supraclavicular regions are normal.
The imaged portions of the supra-aortic vessels are unremarkable.
