A chest X-ray showing a very prominent wedge-shaped area of airspace consolidation in the right lung characteristic of acute bacterial lobar pneumonia CT of the chest demonstrating right-sided pneumonia (left side of the image) A chest radiograph is frequently used in diagnosis. [23]
High-resolution CT image showing ground-glass opacities in the periphery of both lungs in a patient with COVID-19 (red arrows). The adjacent normal lung tissue with lower attenuation appears as darker areas. Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a finding seen on chest x-ray (radiograph) or computed tomography (CT) imaging of the lungs.
Pneumonia as seen on chest X-ray. A: Normal chest X-ray. B: Abnormal chest X-ray with consolidation from pneumonia in the right lung, middle or inferior lobe (white area, left side of image). Specialty: Pulmonology
Modern detail-oriented scans such as high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the gold standard in respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery for investigating disorders of the lung parenchyma . Contrasted CT scans of the chest are usually used to confirm diagnosis of for lung cancer and abscesses , as well as to assess lymph node status at ...
The main chest X-ray findings that can suggest inactive TB are: [2] 1. Discrete fibrotic scar or linear opacity—Discrete linear or reticular densities within the lung. The edges of these densities should be distinct and there should be no suggestion of airspace opacification or haziness between or surrounding these densities.
