Consolidation • Without volume loss • Pneumonia, Pulmonary edema, Hemorrhage • With volume loss • “Atelectasis” or “Collapse”
Means “solid lung” Characteristics: Increased density Acinar shadow Silhouette sign Air bronchogram Consolidation
Consolidation, Air Bronchogram and Silouhette Sign PNEUMONIA

Causes of Airspace Disease • Pneumonia • Hemorrhage • Pulmonary Edema • Neoplasm • Other
Consolidation With Volume Loss Atelectasis or Collapse
Signs of Volume Loss • Direct Signs: Movement of a fissure • Indirect Signs: • Elevated diaphragm • Tracheal shift • Mediastinal shift • Elevated or lowered mainstem bronchus • Movement of hilum • Fewer vessels in aerated lung
Right upper lobe collapse Tracheal shift Hilum displaced Elevation of diaphragm Movement of the Fissures, a DIRECT sign of volume loss
RLL Collapse Tracheal shift Fissure displaced Collapsed lung Hilum pulled down
Normal Atelectasis LLL No diaphragm Diaphragm reappears Portable Chest X-ray
Complete collapse Tracheal shift Bronchus amputated Diaphragm

Interstitial Pulmonary Edema • Kerley “B” Lines • Peribronchial cuffing • Hila look larger • Vessels are ill-defined • Upper lobe vessels are larger • Fluid in fissures • Small pleural effusions
