The purposes of this exhibit are: 1. To illustrate how to interpret imaging findings of pulmonary congestion and cardiogenic edema on chest radiographs. 2. To learn differences of pathophysiology and radiologic features between increased hydrostatic pressure edema and permeability edema. 3. To review clinical and radiologic manifestations of various types of pulmonary edema.  

1. Key points to interpret imaging findings of pulmonary congestion and pulmonary edema on chest radiographs i. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction ii. Pulmonary blood flow distribution iii. Vascular pedicle width ( - as an indicator of changes in systemic blood volume - ) iv. Patterns of interstitial pulmonary edema v. Regional distribution of pulmonary edema 2. Differences in pathophysiology between increased hydrostatic pressure edema and permeability edema i. Function of endothelial and epithelial barrier ii. Characteristics of edema fluid iii. Mechanism of clearance of edema fluid iv. Role of lymphatic drainage in the interstitium 3. Various types of pulmonary edema i. Neurogenic pulmonary edema ii. Reexpansion pulmonary edema iii. High altitude pulmonary edema iv. Near-drowning or drowning v. Peripartum cardiomyopathy vi. Pulmonary edema induced by marathon running
