Two identical chest radiographs.
This is an example of an air bronchogram caused by severe bilateral consolidation.
The air bronchogram is marked in green on the inferior radiograph.
(You can also see: endotracheal tube in situ, nasogastric tube in situ, ECG leads and large cannula in superior vena cava.)

It can appear when there is consolidation (e.g. pneumonia), collapse or pulmonary oedema in the
surrounding alveoli.

Two identical chest radiographs showing left lower lobe consolidation.
The patchy airspace shadowing corresponds to the left lower lobe and there is no loss of lung volume. We know the consolidation is in the left lower lobe as there is loss of definition of the left hemidiaphragm.
The right radiograph shows the consolidation marked in green.

Two identical chest radiographs showing consolidation in the lingula. There is patchy airspace shadowing and
no loss of lung volume.
We know the consolidation is in the lingula as there is loss of the left heart border.
The right radiograph shows the consolidation marked in green.

Two identical chest radiographs showing middle lobe and left lower lobe consolidation.
The patchy airspace shadowing corresponds to the middle lobe and left lower lobe and there is no loss of lung volume. We know the consolidation is in the middle lobe as there is loss of the right heart border and the superior border is the horizontal fissure.

Two identical chest radiographs showing consolidation. There is consolidation in both lungs with moderate
sparing of the apical segment of the right upper lobe (seen as darker than the rest).
There is patchy airspace shadowing, no loss of lung volume and if you look carefully, you can see air bronchograms in both lungs.
The right radiograph shows the consolidation marked in green. (You can also see: endotracheal tube…

🔴 Patchy shadowing : non - uniform shadowing and the border is not well demarcated.
🔴 Lobar or segmental density : the density should correspond anatomically to a lobe or lung segment.
🔴 Air bronchogram: the presence of an air bronchogram would confirm that the density
(fluid/pus) was in the alveoli and not the larger airways. Bronchial breathing is the clinical equivalent of
the air …

Two identical chest radiographs showing widening of the carinal angle. The carinal angle is greater than 100 ° .
The right radiograph shows the trachea, right mainstem bronchus and left mainstem bronchus marked in blue.

Normally the angle is between 40 ° and 100 ° . An increase in the carinal angle is an indirect sign of pathology in the heart, mediastinum or lungs.
• sub - carinal mass (a mass below the carina, e.g. bronchial carcinoma, hiatal hernia)
• left atrial enlargement , cardiomegaly or a pericardial effusion
• right or left upper lobe collapse (pulling the mainstem bronchus upwards).

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
