Role of Radiology • The role of radiology is 3 folds :• 1 .Evaluate the present X-ray.• The presence and distribution of opacities,• Pleural involvement ,Lymph nodal swellings ,pulmonary vascularity ,soft
tissue involvement , bony structures .• 2.Review of previous films.• Are the lesion stable in the same location (Sequestration ?)• Are they present always in upper lobe (aspiration ? )• Are they changing in location (Immunodeficiency ?)• 3.Perform esophagogram.• Reflux of gastric contents.• Abnormal peristalsis.• Compression of esophagus by a mass ,vascular ring.• Tracheo-esophageal fistula.• Hiatal Hernia

Recurrent right basal consolidation
• Posteroanterior (top, A) and lateral (bottom, B) chest
• radiographs demonstrate an area of ill-defined consolidation
• involving the medial segment of the right lower lobe.
![Page 26: Radiological approach to a child with chest infection](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b2ee3b4c905a2058b4dfc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Figure 2. Axial CT images through the area of apparent
consolidation during the administration of IV contrast show a
mass with inhomogenous enhancement involving the medial
aspect of the right lower lobe. There are focal areas of low density
in keeping with necrotic regions within the mass. There are no air
bronchograms or cavitations within the mass. A vessel is clearly
seen to arise from the anterior aspect of the aorta (curved arrow;
top, A), running laterally to the right, to enter the mass
![Page 27: Radiological approach to a child with chest infection](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070313/554b2ee3b4c905a2058b4dfc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Bronchopulmonary sequestration
• Three-dimensional reconstruction of the descending
• aorta further demonstrates the entire route of the anomalous
• vessel arising off the anterior aspect of the aorta and then passing
• inferiorly and to the right to supply the sequestrated segment
