  2. Flat-chested kitten syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-chested_kitten_syndrome

    In an older cat the intercostal muscles are so well developed, and the ribs rigid enough that the ribcage will not flatten if the lung collapses: in kittens the bones are much more flexible, and the tendons and muscles more flaccid, allowing movement of the thorax into abnormal positions. [citation needed]

  3. Ground-glass opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-glass_opacity

    Ground-glass opacity is among the most common imaging findings in patients with confirmed COVID-19. [16] [17] One systematic review found that among patients with COVID-19 and abnormal lung findings on CT, greater than 80% had GGOs, with greater than 50% having mixed GGOs and consolidation. [16]

  4. Tuberculosis radiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis_radiology

    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.

  5. Lung cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cavity

    Pneumonia can lead to the development of a lung abscess, [4] which is a pus-containing necrotic lesion of the lung parenchyma (lung tissue). [5] On CT scan of the chest, a lung abscess appears as an intermediate- or thick-walled cavity with or without an air-fluid level (a flat line separating the air in the cavity from the fluid). [4]

  6. ILO Classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILO_Classification

    For example, if the reader thinks the x-ray being read has profusion most like the standard x-ray for category 1, but serious considered category 2 as an alternative description of the profusion, then the reading is 1/2. Close-up right lower zone 2/2 S/S Large opacities: A large opacity is defined as any opacity greater than 1 cm in diameter.

  7. Pulmonary consolidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_consolidation

    Typically, an area of white lung is seen on a standard X-ray. [5] Consolidated tissue is more radio-opaque than normally aerated lung parenchyma, so that it is clearly demonstrable in radiography and on CT scans. Consolidation is often a middle-to-late stage feature/complication in pulmonary infections.

  8. Peribronchial cuffing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peribronchial_cuffing

    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] This causes the area around the bronchus to appear more prominent on an X-ray ...

  9. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacterium_avium...

    Chest X-ray or CT scan showing evidence of right middle lobe (or left lingular lobe) lung infection; Sputum culture or bronchoalveolar lavage culture demonstrating the infection is caused by MAC; Disseminated MAC is most readily diagnosed by one positive blood culture.
