Suboptimal inspiration Explanation: Optimal chest x-rays are obtained in deep inspiration. I would imagine that conditions such as obesity (or poor general health etc) would preclude adequate an adequate inspiratory effort.6 |

shallow inspiration Explanation: There's shallow and deep breathing. Since the patient is obese, shallow inspiration (or shallow breathing) is more likely due to his/her body weight. https://www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/physiology/courses_respiratory_mgl9.aspx |

Lungs not fully inflated on X-ray Explanation: This refers to the level of inflation/expansion of lungs for the purposes of taking an X-ray (rather than hypoinflation/collapse in conditions such as atelectasis) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-07-03 17:13:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.hr/books?id=yE8tBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA301&lpg=P... |

shallow breathing Explanation: the x ray is showing that the patient is not breathing deeply. Lage here refers to condition or situation. But I would leave that out you don't need it. https://www.linguee.com/english-german/search?source=auto&query=flachinspiration https://www.google.com/search?q=flache+Inspirationslage&sxsrf=ALeKk02G8MCJmMnRhXVBfTDLnKlFlEy6Xw:1593867287015&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved |

poor inspiratory result, poor inspiratory film Explanation: Eine weitere Möglichkeit. "There are many reasons why a film may not be obtained in full inspiration. Massive obesity is a mechanical cause, pain in a patient postoperatively results in voluntary restriction, the cardiac patient with CHF is unable to displace the edema fluid in the 'waterlogged' lungs, and the patient with chronic restrictive lung disease cannot expand his/her chest to expected maximum because of scarring and loss of compliance in the lung tissue. For all these reasons, the term "poor inspiratory result" is used rather than "poor inspiratory effort". A film is considered to be in optimal inspiratory result when we are able to see the diaphragm crossing the tenth rib or interspace posteriorly or the eighth rib anteriorly. The reader is cautioned not to fall into the pitfall of diagnosing 'nondisease' in a patient with a poor inspiratory film. https://books.google.de/books/about/Clinical_Radiology.html?... |
