Pneumothorax
A pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, is often diagnosed via chest X-ray. Look for the absence of lung markings and a visible pleural line. Prompt detection is vital for patient care. #Pneumothorax #ChestXray

Cerebral Hemorrhage
Head CT scans are the first line of imaging in suspected strokes or hemorrhages. Hyperdense areas may indicate bleeding, vital for quick intervention. #Stroke #BrainImaging

Pulmonary Embolism
CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) is the standard for diagnosing PE. Clots appear as filling defects in pulmonary arteries. #PulmonaryEmbolism #CTPA 6/x

Bowel Obstruction
Abdominal X-rays and CT scans can reveal obstructed bowel loops, air-fluid levels, and distension. Quick identification is key to prevent complications. #BowelObstruction #Radiology 7/x
