In this review we will discuss a systematic approach to the neonatal chest radiograph. Close collaboration between neonatologists and radiologists is the key in achieving the correct diagnosis, since the radiographic features of many lung disorders overlap and the findings on the chest film can be rather subtle.

2025年1月24日 · The neonatal chest radiograph in the exam setting may strike fear into the heart of many radiology registrars, but it need not! There are only a limited number of diagnoses that will be presented on such films and they are often highlighted by the history.

A thorough evaluation of neonatal chest radiographs is important for disease classification and management. Despite similar appearances in various pathologies, clinico-radiological correlation can help in accurate diagnosis and timely management.

2016年3月2日 · (A) CXR shows bilateral interstitial, granular and fluffy opacification. (B, C) Two axial CT slices demonstrate ground-glass opacification and septal thickening, giving a ‘crazy paving’ appearance similar to the pattern typically described in alveolar proteinosis.

In the management of neonatal lung diseases that require NICU admission, chest x-ray (CXR) is the most used medical imaging for the initial diagnosis of major clinical changes in the respiratory profile and is the standard procedure to determine the placement of …

2016年5月24日 · Chest radiography is the most commonly performed imaging study in neonates. Often, x-rays are acquired to assess position of support devices for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or detect complications from device placement or prolonged use. Radiographs are also obtained to evaluate cause for dyspnea in the newborn.

The chest X-ray is the most frequently ordered radiological investigation in NICUs. It should ideally be performed in the ICU using a portable X-ray equipment. In most cases, an anteroposterior view of the chest would provide sufficient …

Chest radiographs (CXRs) of both preterm and term neonates are performed generally in supine position providing anteroposterior (AP) view of the chest. Always start with checking the patient’s name, date of examination, side marking, the projection (supine), exposure, lung …

Normal Neonatal CXR: Prerequisites Chest radiographs (CXRs) of both preterm and term neonates are performed generally in supine position providing anteroposterior (AP) view of the chest. Always start with checking the patient’s name, date of examination, side marking, the projection (supine), exposure, lung aeration & rotation.

Neonatal Chest X-ray Key Points. Essential diagnostic tool in neonatal care; Requires systematic approach for interpretation; Understanding normal variants is crucial; Radiation protection principles must be followed; Serial examinations often necessary; Common Indications. Respiratory. Respiratory distress; Assessment of RDS; Pneumonia ...
