Here's an example of a near normal HRCT.
0:04
So here's the inspiratory phase.
0:06
We've done a volumetric acquisition reconstructed very thin.
0:09
These are 1.25 millimeters thin. I like 'em.
0:12
Maybe a little thinner than this, but it's okay.
0:15
See a little bit of motion artifact at the lung base.
0:16
That's just par for the course.
0:18
And there's some scattered nodules,
0:19
but this is as good as you're gonna get in terms of looking
0:23
for fine detail within the lung parenchyma.
0:27
And then I said before, we are going
0:30
to do expiratory series here as well.
0:33
And here's example of a nice expiratory series.
0:35
Lemme mag it up a little bit. These commonly will have
0:39
more motion artifact, as you could see here.
0:41
So good amount of motion artifact here at the lung basis.
0:44
And you just had kind of have to, this is real life,
0:46
you just kinda have to read through it.
0:47
This is the way it is. But you notice the lungs turn
0:50
homogeneously gray here, and that makes sense, right?
0:53
So when the lungs have less gas within them,
0:55
they're gonna become more hyperdense.
0:58
And very commonly you're gonna see augmentation
1:02
of the trachea, specifically the posterior wall.
1:04
The trachea is gonna be sort of convex forward,
1:07
and that's an indication that you're indeed dealing
1:09
with a expiratory case.
1:11
It's a nice example here of a normal ct.
