When radiologists read a chest CT (computed tomography), we follow a systematic approach to evaluate the images and provide an accurate interpretation. It's important to note that a radiologist's interpretation is just one part of the diagnostic process. The clinical context and collaboration with other healthcare professionals, such as pulmonologists or oncologists, are crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of a patient.

So lucid, so organized. Thank you, sir. I somehow suppresed the urge to make a reporting checklist due to exams. But will get back to you with one as soon as I am done with them. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

Thank you for presentation, sir. As a junior radiology resident, there are so many things to be considered carefully and critical if missed, so I've been overwhelmed. Although, I know I have to get through this concern. So I have found many good senior radiologist's youtube channels including here and learned their lesson besides reading journal like radiology. In conclusion, I wonder how much time did you spend for establishing routine described in this video and what is most important for being a good radiologist like you.

You're welcome! It probably took me most of residency to settle on this particular routine for chest CTs (and other routines for other imaging studies too). As a resident, each attending would have their own style, and I'd pick and choose my favorite elements of each, in addition to correcting for any blind spots I discovered in my own reading pattern along the way. I'd also pepper them with a lot of questions, like: "Why do you do things, [that] particular way?". Your question about what's most important for being a good radiologist is actually what prompted me to sit down in front of the camera and do my recent video "Teaching Resident Physicians Effectively". Hopefully that talk helped a bit. At the end of the day, the simplest answer is to treat each patient as if they were your Mom or Dad.

@@radiologyframeworks Thank you for your guidance, Sir. After coming across your channel through this video, I've seen all of your videos in Chest essentials, coming here again. :) I'm so inspired by your kind answer and decided to be a good radiologist treating every patient I met directly or indirectly as my family. I hope you have a great day !

So what is the peripheral posterior as far as the lung? Is that like the side/ back of my lung?

@radiologyframeworks Год назад

The portion of the lungs towards a patient's back, and close to their rib cage.

How do you know if the GGO is considered solid or part solid or not at all? The wording the radiologist used to describe part of what's going on was... consolidated GGO. I have a lot of questions after several ct scans, and still waiting to see pulmonologist. The bottom of my last ct scan says concerning for infections to include atypical infection, inflammatory procecess,and less likely neoplastic process. I've learned a lot watching your videos and I think I've narrowed down the field and am less terrified. 😊
