Resuscitation
 
SE/B08/002: Andrew Rhysm
 
Man on bed
Back to St Emlyn's Reception

Widened upper mediastinum, with apical capping. Aortic knuckle outline very indistinct as blood obscuring the fat plane.

Now it's time to go back and look at the original film again:

Yes that's right - the mediastinum not widened but the calcification of the aortic knuckle can be seen within a soft tissue density, which means that a dissection has already started. There is no apical capping.

A powerful instrument the retrospectoscope.
