Help w/ Radiology report
Subject: Help w/ Radiology report

This guy needs to speak English!!


He is talking about "frontal and lateral chest radiographs.


Can't tell if this heading is "IMPRESSION" or "DEPRESSION" (would there even be a heading of DEPRESSION?


Under whatever the heading is he says "Mildly increased perihilar (then sounds like he says LONG markings)"  Would that be LONG or LUNG markings?

referenced?

We can't see the rest of the report and what might be dozens of clues. Does the patient have cancer?

If people take time to read and try to help, please take the time to provide some clues. When we can't understand a word in our own reports, it's the whole report we draw from.

Decoding radiology report, flipped bucket handle?
I am reading a report for my mother and I am new to radiology and this is what I have:

"There is a large flipped bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus, anterior horn body and posterior horn with a large flipped component sitting in the anterior intercondylar notch"


What in the world does this mean in layman's terms? Is anybody willing to help? We are nervous because her MRI was yesterday and the surgeon called to get her in tomarrow morning already. I hope somebody knows what in the world this means. Thanks!

Some carotid artery calcifications in the left carotid area are apparent. Degenerative changes in the thoracic spine and lumbar spine. There is disk space narrowing involving the L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1 levels. I do not appreciate any obvious s/l levique changes in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine.

Yes, the KVO allows easy access
Subject: Yes, the KVO allows easy access

warranted.  In my experience, the KVO rate was used during a transesophageal echocardiogram wherein if the patient needed a bolus of a med, then the line was there to give it.  Saline was given at a KVO rate, but I think it also (slow drip) allowed hydration for the patient while undergoing the procedure.  I believe these drips given at KVO rate can be started a lot of times in the ER to allow venous access.
