Localization
When a lesion is not contiguous to a
silhouette, it is not possible to localize it
without a lateral view. This is a case of a
solitary pulmonary nodule with popcorn calcification: Hamartoma.

Air Bronchogram
• In a normal chest x-ray, the tracheobronchial tree is not
visible beyond the 4th order. As the bronchial tree
branches, the cartilaginous rings become thinner, and
eventually disappear in respiratory bronchioles. The
lumen of the bronchus contains air and the surrounding
alveoli contain air. Thus, there is no contrast to visualize
the bronchi.
• The air column in the bronchi beyond the 4th order
becomes recognizable if the surrounding alveoli is filled,
providing a contrast or if the bronchi get thickened
• The term air bronchogram is used for the former state
and signifies alveolar disease.
![Page 28: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

RUL/Anterior segment Ascending aorta
LUL/Posterior segment Aortic knob
Lingula/Inferior segment Left heart margin
LLL/Superior and basal segments Descending aorta
LLL/Basal segments Left diaphragm
Cardiac margins are clearly seen because there is contrast between the fluid
density of the heart and the adjacent air filled alveoli. Both being of fluid density,
you cannot visualize the partition of the right and left ventricle because there is no
contrast between them. If the adjacent lung is devoid of air, the clarity of the
silhouette will be lost. The silhouette sign is extremely useful in localizing lung lesions.

S Curve of Golden
When there is a mass
adjacent to a fissure, the
fissure takes the shape
of an "S". The proximal convexity is due to a mass,
and the distal concavity is
due to atelectasis. Note the
shape of the transverse
fissure. This example represents a
RUL mass with atelectasis
![Page 40: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Tracheal Shift
Trachea is index of upper mediastinal position. The pleural pressures on either
side determine the position of the mediastinum. The mediastinum will shift towards the side with relatively higher negative pressure compared to the opposite side. Tracheal deviation can occur under the following conditions:
• Deviated towards diseased side – Atelectasis
– Agenesis of lung
– Pneumonectomy
– Pleural fibrosis
• Deviated away from diseased side – Pneumothorax
– Pleural effusion
– Large mass
• Mediastinal masses
• Tracheal masses
• Kyphoscoliosis
![Page 41: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Bowing Sign
• In LUL atelectasis or
following resection, as in
this case, the oblique
fissure bows forwards
(lateral view). Bowing
sign refers to this feature.
The arrow points to the
forward movement of the
left oblique fissure.

Cut Off Sign
• When you see an abrupt ending of visualized
bronchus, it is called a "cut off sign". It indicates
an intrabronchial lesion. This is useful to identify
the etiology of atelectasis . Be careful as the
tracheobronchial tree is three dimensional and
the finding need to be confirmed with tomogram.
In the modern era, a CT scan will take care of
this.
![Page 61: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Open Bronchus Sign / Alveolar Atelectasis
The right lung is atelectatic. You can see air bronchogram, which indicates
that the airways are patent .This case is an example of adhesive alveolar
atelectasis.
![Page 65: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Pulmonary Artery Overlay
Sign
This is the same concept as
a silhouette sign. If you can
recognize the interlobar pulmonary artery, it means
that the mass seen is either
in front of or behind it.
This is an example of a
dissecting aneurysm.

S Curve of Golden
When there is a mass
adjacent to a fissure, the
fissure takes the shape
of an "S". The proximal convexity is due to a mass,
and the distal concavity is
due to atelectasis. Note the
shape of the transverse
fissure. This example represents a
RUL mass with atelectasis

Tracheoesophageal Stripe
The posterior wall of the trachea (T)
and the anterior wall of the esophagus
(E) are in close contact and form the
tracheoesophageal stripe in the lateral view (arrow).
It is considered abnormal when it is
wider than __ mm.
Common causes for thickening of
tracheoesophageal stripe are:
Esophageal disease
Nodal enlargement

The definition of atelectasis is loss of air in the alveoli;
alveoli devoid of air (not replaced).
A diagnosis of atelectasis requires the following:
1-A density, representing lung devoid of air
2-Signs indicating loss of lung volume
Atelectasis
![Page 71: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
1-Absorption Atelectasis When airways are obstructed there is no further
ventilation to the lungs and beyond. In the early
stages, blood flow continues and gradually the
oxygen and nitrogen get absorbed, resulting in
atelectasis.
Types of Atelectasis:
![Page 72: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
2-Relaxation Atelectasis The lung is held close to the chest wall because of the
negative pressure in the pleural space. Once the
negative pressure is lost the lung tends to recoil due
to elastic properties and becomes atelectatic. This
occurs in patients with pneumothorax and pleural
effusion. In this instance, the loss of negative
pressure in the pleura permits the lung to relax, due
to elastic recoil. There is common misconception that
atelectasis is due to compression.
Types of Atelectasis:
![Page 73: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
3-Adhesive Atelectasis :
Surfactant reduces surface tension and keeps the
alveoli open. In conditions where there is loss of
surfactant, the alveoli collapse and become
atelectatic. In ARDS this occurs diffusely to both
lungs. In pulmonary embolism due to loss of blood
flow and lack of CO2, the integrity of surfactant
gets impaired.
Types of Atelectasis:
![Page 74: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Types of Atelectasis:
4-Cicatricial Atelectasis
– Alveoli gets trapped in scar and
becomes atelectatic in fibrotic
disorders
![Page 75: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
.
5-Round Atelectasis An instance where the lung gets trapped by
pleural disease and is devoid of air.
Classically encountered in asbestosis.
Types of Atelectasis:
![Page 76: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Generalized 1-Shift of mediastinum: The trachea and heart gets shifted
towards the atelectatic lung.
2-Elevation of diaphragm: The diaphragm moves up and
the normal relationship between left and right side gets
altered.
3-Drooping of shoulder.
4-Crowding of ribs: The interspace between the ribs is
narrower compared to the opposite side.
Signs of Loss of Lung Volume:
![Page 77: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Movement of Fissures You need a lateral view to appreciate the movement of
oblique fissures. Forward movement of oblique fissure in
LUL atelectasis. Backward movement in lower lobe
atelectasis.
Movement of transverse fissure can be recognized in the
PA film.
Signs of Loss of Lung Volume:

Adhesive Atelectasis
Alveoli are kept open by the integrity of surfactant. When there is loss
of surfactant, alveoli collapse. ARDS is an example of diffuse alveolar
atelectasis.
Plate-like atelectasis is an example of focal loss of surfactant.
![Page 95: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Relaxation Atelectasis
The lung is held in apposition to the chest wall because of negative pressure
in the pleura. When the negative pressure is lost, as in pneumothorax or
pleural effusion, the lung relaxes to its atelectatic position. The atelectasis is
a secondary event. The pleural problem is primary and dictates other radiological findings.

Number:
Multiple bilateral cavities would raise
suspicion for either bronchiogenous or
hematogenous process. You should consider:
Aspiration lung abscess
Septic emboli
Metastatic lesions
Vasculitis (Wegener's)
Coccidioidomycosis, tuberculosis
![Page 123: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Location:
• Classical locations for aspiration lung abscess are superior segment of the lower lobes posterior segments of upper lobes.
• Tuberculous cavities are common in superior segments of upper and lower lobes or posterior segments of upper lobes.
• When a cavity in anterior segment is encountered, a strong suspicion for lung cancer should be raised. TB and aspiration lung abscess are rare in anterior segments. Cancer lung can occur in any segment.

Wall Thickness:
• Thick walls are seen in:
– Lung abscess
– Necrotizing squamous cell lung cancer
– Wegener's granulomatosis
– Blastomycosis

Wall Thickness:
• Thin walled cavities are seen in:
• Coccidioidomycosis
• Metastatic cavitating squamous cell carcinoma from the cervix
• M. Kansasii infection
• Congenital or acquired bullae
• Post-traumatic cysts
• Open negative TB

Contents:
• The most common cause for air fluid level is lung abscess. Air fluid levels can rarely be seen in malignancy and in tuberculous cavities from rupture of Rasmussen's aneurysm.
• A fungous ball should make you consider aspergillosis. A blood clot and fibrin ball will have the same appearance.
• Floating Water Lily: The collapsed membrane of a ruptured echinococcal cyst, floats giving this appearance.

Evolution of Lesion:
Many times review of old films to assess the
evolution of the radiological appearance of
the lesion extremely helpful. Examples
• Infected bullae
• Aspergilloma
• Sub acute necrotizing aspergillosis
• Bleeding from Rasmussen's aneurysm in a
tuberculous cavity

Bulla
Definition
•Thin-walled–less than 1 mm
•Air-filled space
•In the lung> 1 cm in size and up to 75% of lung
•Walls may be formed by pleura, septa,
or compressed lung tissue.
•Results from destruction, dilatation and
confluence of airspaces distal to terminal
bronchioles.
![Page 132: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
•Bullous disease may be primary or associated
with emphysema or interstitial lung disease.
• Primary bullous lung disease may be familial
and has been associated with Marfan's, Ehler's
Danlos, IV drug users, HIV infection, and
vanishing lung syndrome.
•Bullae may occasionally become very large
and compromise respiratory function. Thus
has been referred as vanishing lung syndrome,
and may be seen in young men.

Pneumatocele is a benign air containing cyst of lung, with
thin wall < 1mm as bulla but with different mechanism
Infection with staph aureus is the commonest cause ( less
common causes are, trauma, barotrauma) lead to necrosis
and liquefaction followed by air leak and subpleural
dissection forming a thin walled cyst.
![Page 138: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)
•Honeycombing is defined as multiple cysts < 1cm in diameter,with
well defined walls, in a background of fibrosis, tend to form
clusters and is considered as end stage lung .
•It is formed by extensive interstitial fibrosis of lung with residual
cystic areas.

of PE Diagnostic Algorithm
1. Patients with normal chest radiographic findings
are evaluated with a perfusion scan and, if
necessary, an aerosol ventilation scan. Patients
with normal or very low probability scintigraphic
findings are presumed not to have pulmonary
emboli .
2-Patients with a high-probability scan usually
undergo anticoagulation therapy. All other patients
should be evaluated with helical CT pulmonary
angiography, conventional pulmonary
angiography, or lower-extremity US, depending on
the clinical situation
![Page 229: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/229.jpg)
of PE Diagnostic Algorithm 3-Patients with abnormal chest radiographic findings, are
unlikely to have definitive scintigraphic findings. These
patients undergo helical CT pulmonary angiography as well
as axial CT of the inferior vena cava and the iliac, femoral,
and popliteal veins. If the findings at helical CT pulmonary
angiography are equivocal or technically inadequate (5%–
10% of cases) or clinical suspicion remains high despite
negative findings, additional imaging is required.
4-Patients who have symptoms of deep venous thrombosis
but not of pulmonary embolism initially undergo US, which
is a less expensive alternative. If the findings are negative,
imaging is usually discontinued; if they are positive, the
patient is evaluated for pulmonary embolism at the
discretion of the referring physician.

Mediastinal Cysts
![Page 265: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/265.jpg)
The CT features of benign
mediastinal cyst are
(a) a smooth, oval or tubular mass with a well-
defined thin wall that usually enhances after
intravascular administration of contrast
material,
(b) homogeneous attenuation, usually in the
range of water attenuation (0–20 HU),
(c) no enhancement of cyst contents, and
(d) no infiltration of adjacent mediastinal
structures.
![Page 266: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/266.jpg)
Cysts that contain serous fluid typically have
long T1 and T2 relaxation values, which
produce low signal intensity on T1-weighted
MR images and high signal intensity on T2-
weighted images.
![Page 267: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/267.jpg)

Because cysts containing nonserous
fluid can have high attenuation at CT,
they may be mistaken for solid
lesions. MR imaging can be useful in
showing the cystic nature of these
masses because these cysts continue
to have characteristically high signal
intensity when imaged with T2-
weighted sequences regardless of the
nature of the cyst contents
![Page 269: Radiological presentation of chest diseases gamal agmy](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052619/5550603fb4c905ae3f8b5349/html5/thumbnails/269.jpg)
Radionuclide imaging can be helpful in
detecting functioning thyroid tissue
(iodine-123 or I-131) or parathyroid
tissue (technetium-99m sestamibi) in
the mediastinal cystic mass . gallium-
67 scintigraphy may show increased
radiotracer uptake in the cystic
malignancy owing to necrosis such as
lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma.

Ultrasonography (US) can be useful in
evaluating a mass adjacent to the
pleural surface or cardiophrenic angle.
At US, the benign cysts typically
appear as anechoic thin-walled
masses with increased through
transmission
