The following images are from WikiRadiography (WetPaint) here. See more differences between the male and female pelvis. Advertisements
Recently I shared a case of Peyronies disease. Many people thought it was showing an intrauterine device. Therefore, I created the following image to discuss the differences between the female and male pelvis. The male pelvic inlet is narrower than the female pelvic inlet and is more heart shaped, whereas the female pelvic inlet is … Continue reading

The hole contains no parenchyma, and there is a high contrast between the cavity and normal lung parenchyma. Emphysema is classified typically as either paraseptal or centrilobular (although, another type is … Continue reading

Notice the calcified pleural plaque along the area of atelectasis. Round atelectasis is most frequently seen in asbestos related pleural plaques. Other terms for … Continue reading

History: 35 year old male with 2 week history of right sided scrotal swelling, persistent after a trial of antibiotics. The differential in this case given the absence of change with antibiotic treatment and absence of symptoms of infection, includes neoplasms such as testicular seminoma, and non-seminomatous tumors such as embryonal cell (the type that … Continue reading
