For investigation of many unexplained lumps . pancreas or breast lumps to diagnose carcinoma. Radiology Conventional X-rays visualize only four basic radiographic densities air metal fat and water. Air densities are black metal densities the most common of which are calcium and barium are white with well-defined edges fat and water densities are dark and mid grey. There can be difficulty in visualizing a three-dimensional structure from a two-dimensional film. One helpful rule in deciding where a lesion is situated is to note which if any adjacent normal landmarks are obliterated. For example a water density lesion which obliterates the right border of the heart must lie in the right middle lobe and not the lower different view . lateral chest radiograph is needed to be certain of the position of densities. Chest radiograph Use a systematic approach. 186 Chapter 11 Imaging Techniques and Clinical Investigations o Posteroanterior PA or anteroposterior AP which are only done when the patient is in a bed Fig. .The correct name for the usual chest study is a PA chest radiograph . This means that the anteriorly situated heart is as close to the film as possible and its image will be minimally enlarged. o Follow a logical progression from centre of film to periphery interfaces are only seen in silhouette when adjacent .
