**********************************************************************
PLEASE CHECK REPORT
CTA CHEST TECHNIQUE NOT GIVEN.
**********************************************************************
CT ANGIOGRAM CHEST WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST INCLUDING POST
PROCESSING: 4-28-10

CLINICAL HISTORY:
Hypoxemia. Post heart surgery.

TECHNIQUE:
CT angiogram of the chest was obtained using high-resolution axial
volumetric acquisition with a multidetector CT scanner following a
timed injector injected intravenous bolus of ____ cc of ____
nonionic water soluble contrast material. Post processing of the
dataset was obtained with three-dimensional coronal maximum intensity
projection reconstructed images provided as well. Additionally,
axial plane images were obtained prior to intravenous contrast
administration.


FINDINGS:
Changes of median sternotomy. Postoperative changes of the
mediastinum include some minimal substernal air, two mediastinal chest
tubes. Small pneumomediastinum.

No aortic aneurysm or dissection.

No filling defects can be demonstrated in the pulmonary arteries that
indicate acute pulmonary embolus.

Small pleural effusions.

Small right sided pneumothorax, measured anteriorly approximately
10mm.

Dependent parenchymal opacities likely reflect atelectasis.


IMPRESSION:

1. Postoperative changes. Pneumomediastinum, presumably
postoperative. Clinical correlation.

2. Very small right pneumothorax can be detected on CT, appears
undetectable on prior chest x-rays.
