Updates to Case Attributes

Body was changed:

The surgery or biopsy was performed in a different hospital and we do not have access to the same. The ICD was also placed elsewhere for calcified fibroma causing arrhythmia.

When one sees an ICD on chest radiograph a radiologist should have a thought process as to why it was placed.

One should be curious to see the chart even though we were given COPD as ordering history.

There is a low dose CT chest in PACS to see this in correlation.
