Radiology case of the day. 12-1-18, Tension hydropneumothorax
Hello everyone. I will try to post a few diagnostic radiology cases including X-rays, Ultrasound, CT scans, MRIs and contrast investigations from my collection here for my own record and for the members to view and benefit.
I suppose I am too early on steemit for such a niche right now but i hope this will be a good opportunity to keep posting and to keep in touch with my daily medical practice.
The images are for educational purposes only and some/most of the cases have been posted by me on Radiopaedia.org as well. The patient data is anonymized for privacy.
Let me know the feedback and support educational content on steemit!
Enjoy!
