Abnormal fluid buildup in the pleural space around the lungs.

A large amount of fluid in the pleural space, causing significant lung compression.

One half of the lung obscured on an X-ray, suggesting a significant issue.

The displacement of the mediastinum (the middle area of the chest), often due to lung compression.

The trachea (windpipe) moves to one side due to unequal pressure in the chest.

The angle where the ribs meet the diaphragm disappears on a chest X-ray.

The angle between the heart and diaphragm is no longer visible on a chest X-ray.

The outline of the heart is unclear or obscured on the chest X-ray.

The fluid level in the chest rises up towards the armpit area on a chest X-ray.

The blood vessels in the right lung are not visible on a chest X-ray.

A type of pleural effusion where the fluid is trapped in a specific area of the pleural space, causing a localized density on X-ray.

A consistent shadow or haziness on an X-ray image, often indicating a solid mass or fluid accumulation.

The outline of the diaphragm becomes indistinct on X-ray, indicating fluid or mass in the space between the lung and diaphragm.

A small amount of fluid in the pleural space, often detectable by ultrasound.

A horizontal line seen on a chest X-ray, indicating the presence of both air and fluid in the space surrounding the lung (pleural space).

It suggests fluid buildup in the pleural space, which is the area between the lung and the chest wall.

It indicates that there is air and fluid together in the pleural space, which is a sign of a problem.

Possible causes include pneumonia, infection, heart failure, and cancer.

It indicates a potential issue with the lungs and requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause.

A cloudy or opaque area in the left lower lung as seen on a chest X-ray, suggesting a mass, fluid, or inflammation

Opacification in the left lower lung zone with the left hemidiaphragm obscured, and on a lateral view, the opacification appearing in the posterior lower chest region with loss of the posterior costophrenic angle

Several round opacities on a chest X-ray larger than 3 centimeters, suggesting multiple tumors or a widespread process

A small, round mass in the lung with a clear outline, less than 3 centimeters in diameter

A rounded opacity with air inside (cavitation) on a chest X-ray, often with irregular borders and surrounding consolidation or infiltrates

Enlarged lymph nodes on both sides of the chest, appearing symmetrical on a chest X-ray

A large, well-defined mass on a chest X-ray that doesn't follow the normal structures of the lung

Tiny holes seen in the lungs on a chest X-ray, often indicating a breakdown of lung tissue

A condition where air and fluid accumulate in the pleural space around the lungs. It's a combination of pneumothorax (air) and pleural effusion (fluid).

A mass or growth located in the middle section of the mediastinum, the area between the lungs.

Fluid-filled cysts that arise from abnormal development of the lung's bronchial tree.

When the body produces blood cells outside of the bone marrow, usually in the spleen or liver, due to conditions like anemia.

A type of cancer that affects T-cells, a type of white blood cell, and can manifest in the chest.

Scarring of the lung tissue, causing difficulty breathing.

A lung condition where air sacs in the lungs are damaged and enlarged, leading to difficulty breathing.

A type of emphysema where the damage occurs in the center of the tiny air sacs (lobules) in the lungs.

Emphysema where the damage is near the edges of the air sacs, often associated with blebs (small air sacs).

Fluid buildup in the air sacs of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.

A severe lung injury that causes widespread inflammation and fluid buildup in the air sacs.

Abnormal growth of cells in the lungs, which can spread to other parts of the body.

A type of lung cancer that starts in the air sacs (alveoli) and often spreads to the lymph nodes.

A type of lung cancer with large, abnormal cells that grow rapidly.

A disease that causes small, inflammatory nodules (lumps) to form in the lungs.
