Discontinuity in the rib cortex, often caused by trauma. X-ray may miss up to 50% of cases.

More sensitive than X-ray for detecting rib fractures.

Congenital chest wall deformity with a concave sternum, causing cosmetic issues and noticeable X-ray changes.

Abnormal fluid buildup in the pleural space, often caused by conditions overwhelming the pleura's fluid absorption.

Shows blunting of costophrenic and cardiophrenic angles, and possible mediastinal shift.

Excellent for finding small fluid amounts and associated internal problems.

Can detect small amounts of fluid (3-5mL) and differentiate between fluid and thickened pleura.

Used to assess the severity of pectus excavatum.

Presence of gas (air) in the pleural space.

A pneumothorax where the air pressure in the pleural space builds up, putting pressure on the heart and lungs and potentially life-threatening.

Homogeneous consolidation of one or more lung lobes due to bacterial infection.

Visible bronchi within a consolidated lung lobe, appearing as light streaks.

Not used for diagnosis; may assess complications in severe cases.

Normal in early/mild disease; airspace opacities (consolidation/GGO) in advanced cases.

Procedure to drain fluid from the pleural space.

Irreversible widening of the bronchial tubes, often due to chronic inflammation.

A type of bronchiectasis where the bronchi are uniformly wide and don't narrow.

A CT finding in cylindrical bronchiectasis, showing parallel lines resembling tram tracks.

A CT sign where the bronchial wall is larger than expected relative to the adjacent blood vessel.

CT finding showing an area in the lung that appears hazy or translucent.

CT finding characterized by filling of air spaces, often appearing as a solid region.

A type of CT scan used to view air passages (bronchi) and other lung details in greater detail

CT finding of increased thickness of the bronchus and blood vessels (arteries).

A type of emphysema located near the pleura and septal lines, characterized by small, focal lucencies (less than 10 mm) within the secondary pulmonary lobule.

Larger lucencies (greater than 10 mm) in the lung, often found near the pleura.

A type of COPD where the primary problem is damage to the lung tissue (emphysema), leading to air trapping and difficulty breathing.

A type of COPD where the primary problem is narrowing of the airways (chronic bronchitis or small airways disease), making it difficult to breathe out.

A CT scan can show thickened bronchial walls, enlarged vessels, and scarring, indicating chronic bronchitis.

A lung condition where air sacs (alveoli) are damaged and permanently enlarged, leading to difficulty breathing.

There are three main types: centrilobular, panlobular, and paraseptal.

The most common type of emphysema, affecting the proximal respiratory bronchioles and often associated with smoking.

Emphysema affecting the entire secondary pulmonary lobule, commonly found in the lower zones of the lungs.

CT scans are the best tool for evaluating emphysema, as they can differentiate between subtypes.

Chest X-ray typically shows signs like flattened diaphragm, increased lung lucency, and increased anteroposterior diameter.

CT scans can show things like paucity of vessels, pruning, and increased caliber of central arteries.
