Presents with very large aneurysmal aortic root with sinotubular ectasia
Aortitis - Marfan syndrome
Infectious process with the following pattern of LN involvement where 1 = right paratracheal, 2 = right hilar, and 3 = left hilar LN enlargement
sarcoidosis
solid round mass within an upper lobe cavity with an air crescent separating the mycetoma from the cavitary wall
aspergilloma
Parasitic pulmonary infection wherein if the cyst develops a communication with the bronchial tree and the pericyst ruptures, a thin crescent of air will be seen around the periphery of the cyst
pulmonary echinococcal cyst
collapsed/crumpled cyst wall floating on top of the fluid within an uncollapsed pericyst
ruptured pulmonary echinococcal cyst
dense opacities occupy the central / perihilar regions of lung and extend laterally to abruptly marginate before reaching the peripheral portions of the lung
airspace disease (almost exclusively,
individually opacified lobules / interspersion of normal and diseased lobules
airspace processes, most clasically
confluent bilateral dense micronodular opacities that, because of their high intrinsic density, produce the black pleura sign at their interface with the chest wall
alveolar microlithiasis
volume of involved lobe may be increased by exuberant inflammatory exudate
Kleb. pneumoniae
narrowing or waist of the diaphrgm on the herniated viscus
traumatic diaphragmatic hernia
contact between the posterior ribs and the liver (right-sided injury) or stomach (left-sided)
traumatic diaphragmatic hernia
curvilinear bronchovascular bundle entering the anterior inferior margin / hilar aspect of the mass
rounded atelectasis / folded lung
air dissects between the pericardium and central diaphragm below to allo visualization of the central portion of the diaphragm in continguity with the right and left hemidiaphragms
pneumomediastinum (may be seen in pneumopericardium)
spiculated margins; linear densities radiating from the edge of the nodule into the adjacent lung
highly suspicious for malignant nodule
suggestive of malignant nodule
geographic ground glass opacities superimposed upon thickened interlobular and intralobular septa / reticulation
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, pulmonary edema (mc) particularly permeability edema, atypical pneumonia, pulmonary hemorrhage, rarely bronchoalveolar cell ca
filling of the airspaces with mucoid material produced by the malignant cells creates low-density airspace opacification surrounding the enhanced pulmonary arteries that traverses the consolidated regions
diffuse form of bronchioloalveolar ca (also seen in other airspace-filling diseases, bacterial pneumonia,
lymphoma, and lipoid pneumonia)
zone of relative decreased attenuation surrounding a dense, mass-like opacity
invasive aspergillosis
lateral costophrenic sulcus appears abnormally deep and hyperlucent
pneumothorax
visualization of the anterior costophrenic sulcus owing to air anteriorly and inferiorly as the dome and anterior portions of the diaphragm are outlined by lung and air, respectively
pneumothorax
peripheral lung markings are accentuated
chronic bronchitis
tumor extension from the paravertebral space into the spinal canal via an enlarged intervertebral foramen
neurofibroma
rare causes: sarcoidosis, Hodkin’s lymphoma (after irradiation), histoplasmosis, amyloidosis, and TB; also, scleroderma (mediastinal)
mc: silicosis and coal dust exposure
subtended lung remains collapsed against the lateral chest wall
tracheobronchial injury
buckling of posterior tracheal membrane
tracheobronchomalacia
density through which the normal hilar vessels can be seen
mass superimposed on the hilum
vascular structures that converge only as far as the lateral margin of the increased hilar density
enlargement of intrahilar vessels
when viewed en face, appear as geographic areas of opacity
pleural plaques
cystic spaces 0.3-1 cm in diameter whose walls consist of fibrous tissue
mc: IPF, connective tissue disease, and sarcoidosis
tracheal stenosis
incomplete septation of the cartilage rings producing a long segment tracheal narrowing
congenital tracheal stenosis
small intraluminal but large extraluminal soft tissue component
carcinoid tumor of the central bronchi
small, sharply defined triangular opacity that projects upward from the medial half of the hemidiaphragm at or near the highest point of the dome, usually related to cephalic displacement of an inferior accessory fissure
RUL or LUL atelectasis (less common: RML)
overinflated superior segment of the lower lobe occupies the space vacated by the apical segment; apex of the hemithorax contains aerated lung. Sometimes, this lower lobe segment inserts itself medially between the apex of the atelectatic upper lobe and the mediastinum, allowing visualization of the aortic arc. The overinflated superior segment is seen as crescent of hyperlucency.
LUL atelectasis (also RUL but less common)
small airways disease (indirect sign), pulmonary arterial occlusive disease, PCP, DIP
involvement of the peripheral portion of the cartilage and has the appearance of two fingers
male costal cartilage
hamartoma
patchy ground-glass opacities surrounded by crescentic regions of more dense consolidation
COP but not specific
osteogenesis imperfecta and NF1
if overcirculation, TA; if undercirculation, TOF
associated with truncus arteriosus and TOF
central convex mass partially preventing the usual fissure concavity seen in RUL atelectasis; downward bulge is in the medial portion of the minor fissure
mass causing RUL atelectasis (any lobe
