Acute Pulmonary oedema • Chest X-ray will show fluid in the alveolar walls, • Kerley B lines, • increased vascular shadowing in a classical batwing peri-hilum pattern, • upper lobe diversion (increased blood flow to the superior parts of the lung), • pleural effusions. In contrast, patchy alveolar infiltrates are more typically associated with noncardiogenic edema
These are short parallel lines at the lung periphery. These lines represent interlobular septa, which are usually less than 1 cm in length and parallel to one another at right angles to the pleura. They are located peripherally in contact with the pleura, but are generally absent along fissural surfaces. They may be seen in any zone but are most frequently observed at the lung bases at the costophrenic angles on the PA radiograph, and in the substernal region on lateral radiographs. Kerley B lines are seen in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD). Kerley B Lines
