ALVEOLAR ( CONSOLIDATIVE) PATTERN
A2BC3
√ Acinar rosettes: rounded poorly defi ned nodules in size of acini (6–10 mm), best seen at periphery of opacity
√ Air alveologram / bronchogram
√ Butterfly / bat-wing distribution: perihilar / bibasilar
√ Coalescent / confl uent cloudlike ill-defi ned opacities
√ Consolidation in diffuse, perihilar / bibasilar, segmental / lobar, multifocal / lobular distribution
√ Changes occur rapidly (labile / fl eeting)
