Transient tachypnea usually occurs in term neonates and has normal to slightly increased lung volumes with perihilar linear densities from fissural fluid, with a characteristic prominent line in the horizontal fissure of the right lung.
Peribronchial cuffing, also referred to as peribronchial thickening or bronchial wall thickening, is a radiologic sign which occurs when excess fluid or mucus buildup in the small airway passages of the lung causes localized patches of atelectasis (lung collapse). [1]
The original published definition read as: "Any extended, finely granular pattern of pulmonary opacity within which normal anatomic details are partly obscured; from a fancied resemblance to etched or abraded glass." [23] It was again included in an updated glossary by the Fleischner Society in 2008 with a more detailed definition. [24]
This includes fungal infections, mycobacterial infections such as tuberculosis or mycobacterium avium intracellulare, bronchopneumonia, chronic aspiration pneumonia, cystic fibrosis or cellular impaction from bronchovascular spread of malignancy, as can occur with breast cancer, leukemia or lymphoma.

Pneumocystis pneumonia can present with interstitial lung disease, as seen in the reticular markings on this AP chest x-ray. A chest X-ray demonstrating pulmonary fibrosis due to amiodarone. Diagnosis of ILD involves assessing the signs and symptoms as well as a detailed history investigating occupational exposures.
All cities have codes for marking trees. Here we’ll use Boulder, Colorado, as an example. In Boulder, when you see a dot at the base of the tree, that signifies it needs treatment for emerald ...
The term "chronic bronchitis" was used in previous definitions of COPD but is no longer included in the definition. [ 10 ] [ 32 ] [ 33 ] The term is still used clinically. [ 34 ] While both chronic bronchitis and emphysema are often associated with COPD, neither is needed to make the diagnosis. [ 34 ]
The mean radiation dose to an adult from a chest radiograph is around 0.02 mSv (2 mrem) for a front view (PA, or posteroanterior) and 0.08 mSv (8 mrem) for a side view (LL, or latero-lateral). [1] Together, this corresponds to a background radiation equivalent time of about 10 days.
