Case Discussion
Classic FRCR viva or 2B rapid reporting film.
a. Pathology on the periphery of film.
b. Represetation of findings to query the candidates next management advice
Eg, I would report the film as an ALERT to the GP with advise for a chest x-ray to be performed and prompt referral to a respiratory physcian for further assessment.
c. In the case of a viva film, a CT may follow and further description required and staging of the tumor to be given.
Eg, CT shows a T4,N1,M1 (liver) lung cancer. Referral to Lung Cancer MDT indicated.
