Description
Learning objectives
-
Learners will be able to accurately distinguish between hypoattenuated regions of emphysema, cysts, and bullae.
-
Learners will be able to identify the characteristics of each hypoattenuated region (e.g., emphysema- lack of definitive boundaries; cyst- definitive, self-made boundaries; bullae- regions of emphysema greater than 1 cm in diameter).
-
Learners will be able to explain the differences between emphysema, cysts, and bullae concerning distribution and size.
-
Learners will be able to identify the locations in the lungs where emphysema is typically distributed.
5.Learners will correctly utilize the diagnostic criteria to describe the patient's pathology by correctly identifying and describing hypoattenuated regions in images.
