Radiological signs of Disease

Cavitary lung lesions Loculated empyema Hydropneumothorax
Esophageal obstruction Mediastinal abscess
Hydropneumopericardium Hiatal hernia
Chest wall abscess
Air Fluid Levelsin the following conditions:
![Page 5: Chest x. ray interpretation and teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032003/55c35724bb61eb6b098b4687/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• A mediastinal lesion should have a sharp margin convex towards the lungs and its base abutting the mediastinum .
Most disease processes will either increase or decrease the density of the lung parenchyma
![Page 6: Chest x. ray interpretation and teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032003/55c35724bb61eb6b098b4687/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• A pleural lesion should be seen as a homogenously dense opacity abutting the pleural surface, without air bronchogram.
• If the pleural lesion is free fluid, it will gravitate to the dependant lung parts first to form a miniscus (concavity) along its upper surface.
![Page 7: Chest x. ray interpretation and teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032003/55c35724bb61eb6b098b4687/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• An extra pleural lesion demonstrates a homogenous density which makes obtuse angles with the chest wall, or may appear similar to pleural disease.
![Page 8: Chest x. ray interpretation and teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032003/55c35724bb61eb6b098b4687/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• A lung opacity may be due to a mass or lung- parenchymal opacification.
• Identification of clear margins vs indistinct or diffuse opacification is important in making the differentiation.
• If the diffuse opacification demonstrates lucencies or air bronchogram within it, it is most likely air space disease (consolidation).

Signs of lobar collapse
• Local increase in density due to non-aerated lung.
• Decreased lung volume.• Displacement of pulmonary fissures.• Elevation of hemidiaphragm.• Displacement of hila.

left upper lobe atelectasis following right upper lobectomy. The left lung lacks a middle lobe and therefore a minor fissure, so left upper lobe atelectasis presents a different picture from that of the right upper lobe collapse.
The result is predominantly anterior shift of the upper lobe in left upper lobe collapse, with loss of the left upper cardiac border. The expanded lower lobe will migrate to a location both superior and posterior to the upper lobe in order to occupy the vacated space.
As the lower lobe expands, the lower lobe artery shifts superiorly. The left mainstem bronchus also rotates to a nearly horizontal position.

Lung fields appear dark because of air. Ninety-nine percent of the lung is air.
The pulmonary vasculature, interstitium constitute 1% and give the
lacy lung pattern.
