• pneumonia

• RSV

• COPD

Common, very contagious virus which attacks the lower respiratory tract; often occurs in children

• pneumonia

• RSV

• cystic fibrosis

• tuberculosis

This image shows a subtractive type of COPD

• bronchitis

• CHF

• emphysema

• atelectasis

This image shows many white patches which is an indication of:

• RSV

• pneumonia

• cystic fibrosis

• emphysema

Which of the following best describes cystic fibrosis?

• an additive condition due to bacteria

• an additive condition due to thickened secretions

• a subtractive condition due to less air

• a subtractive condition due to more air

Which of the following is a serious infection of the lungs caused by airborne bacteria?

• cystic fibrosis

• tuberculosis

• COPD

• CHF

This patient's left lung is showing a signs of:

• atelectasis

• pneumothorax

• pneumonia

• CHF

Air in the pleural cavity because it escaped the lungs is known as:

• atelectasis

• a pneumothorax

• a subtractive form of COPD

• a pleural effusion

An expiration chest xray post lung biopsy is most likely looking for:

• a pneumothorax

• a pleural effusion

• pneumonia

• cardiomegaly

The pathology most identifiable on this image is:

• a pleural effusion

• pulmonary edema

• a pulmonary embolism

• atelectasis
