Normallung Individual alveoli are too small to resolve, but together they appear radiolucent.
Air-space Disease Filling of alveoli by: water, blood, pus, proteinaceous fluid, or cells -opacities -consolidation
Airspace Disease Filling in of acini (air space) Air space (acinar) nodules Coalesce to consolidation Air bronchograms Silhouette Sign
Air Space Disease: Etiology Water-Pulmonary Edema Pus-Infections, Non-infectious inflammatory process Blood-Pulmonary Hemmorhage Protein-Alveolar Proteinosis Tumour-BAC, Lymphoma
Air Bronchogram Airways are not normally seen in a normal chest radiograph because they are an air structure within an aerated lung When the aerated lung opacify, the bronchii become visualized because of the surrounding contrast effect.

Silhouette Sign Definition: The effacement of a normal structure Example: Airspace disease may silhouette: right heart margin with right middle lobe pneumonia diaphragm with lower lobe pneumonia
Silhouette sign sign describes the observation that an intrathoracic lesion will obliterate borders of shadows of similar radiodense structures that it contacts example: right middle lobe pneumonia will obliterate apex of the right heart border
Silhouette sign Normal Pneumonia (-) silhouette sign (visible heart silhouette) Pneumonia (+) silhouette sign (no heart silhouette)

In a normal chest radiograph, the visible interstitium is the branching pulmonary vessels • The branching disappears peripherally because they are beyond resolution of the xray
Hazy or ill defined interstitial lung disease usually indicates acute disease Sharp, well defined and distorted interstitial lung disease usually indicates chronic disease Interstital dz appears as linear, nodular, or reticular (net-like) Interstitial Disease

Kerley linesare a sign seen on CXR with interstitial pulmonary edema. They are thin linear pulmonary opacities caused by fluid or cellular infiltration into the interstitium of the lungs
