Two patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are described in which the development of localized areas of increased lucency on chest roentgenogram, Westermark's sign, aided in the rapid diagnosis of concurrent pulmonary emboli. Recognition of this radiological sign represents a noninvasive technique for diagnosing this complication.
本文描述了两名患有成人呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)的患者,其胸部X光片上出现局部透亮区增加(韦斯特马克征),这有助于快速诊断并发的肺栓塞。识别这种放射学征象是诊断该并发症的一种非侵入性技术。
