Summary
This on-demand teaching session assists medical professionals to understand the size, distribution and identification of calcifications on CXR. It will cover common causes of eggshell calcification and differentiate between mediastinum and hilum lymph node differential by location. It also provides insights into various conditions associated with the mediastinum and hilum such as infection, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoid illness and silicosis. Sign up now to learn more!
