1. Regarding the imaging modalities of the chest:
(a) High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) uses a slice thickness
of 4–6 mm to identify mass lesions in the lung.
(b) Spiral CT ensures that no portion of the chest is missed due to variable
inspiratory effort.
(c) MRI shows excellent detail of the lung anatomy.
(d) Bronchography is the technique of choice to visualize the bronchial
tree
(e) CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is performed using catheters
placed in a femoral vein.
2. Regarding the development of the lung:
(a) The tracheobronchial groove appears on the ventral aspect of the
caudal end of the pharynx.
(b) The primary bronchial buds develop from the tracheobronchial
diverticulum.
(c) The epithelium lining the alveoli is the same before and after birth.
(d) A persistent tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) is commonly associated
with an atresia of the duodenum.
(e) Uni-lateral pulmonary hypoplasia is usually due to a congenital
diaphragmatic hernia.
1.
(a) False – HRCT uses 1–2 mm slice thickness and a high resolution computer
algorithm to show fine detail of the lung parenchyma, pleura and
tracheobronchial tree. It is not used to delineate masses in the lung.
(b) True
(c) False – currently MRI is a poor technique for showing lung detail. It allows
visualisation of the chest wall, heart, mediastinal and hilar structures.
(d) False – this invasive technique has largely been superseded by HRCT.
(e) False – CTPA is performed to diagnose major pulmonary emboli using a
cannula placed in any peripheral vein and is relatively non-invasive compared
to conventional pulmonary angiography.
2.
(a) True
(b) True – the bronchial buds differentiate into bronchi in each lung.
(c) False – during embryonic life the alveoli is lined by cuboidal epithelium that
lines the rest of the respiratory tract. When respiration commences at birth the
transfer to the flattened pavement epithelium of the alveoli is accomplished.
(d) False – TOF indicates the close developmental relationship between the foregut
and the respiratory passages. It is usually associated with an atresia of the
oesophagus and the fistula is situated below the atretic segment.
(e) True
