Plain radiography revealed a calcified area projected over the spleen that was confirmed on subsequent CT to be splenic calcification. (b) Axial CT image at the level of the heart displayed in bone settings shows the well-defined nodule with central calcification...Popcorn-like calcification of density in lesion A) Frontal and (B) lateral views of the chest show a large left lung soft-tissue mass (arrows) containing dense central calcification. solitary and multiple mass Multiple nodule  Multiple Pulmonary Nodules There were multiple nodules in both lungs of varying sizes. They were round and well marginated. Patchy opacity Chest X-ray revealed an ill- defined patchy opacity and Reticulo-nodular opacities in the upper and mid zone of both lungs SOLITARY CAVITARY LESION ON CXR MULTIPLE CAVITARY LESION  THIN SMOOTH CAVITARY LESION 1-RT WITH AIR AND LT WITH STRAIGHT FLUID  THIN SMOOTH CAVITARY LESION 1-RT WITH AIR AND LT WITH STRAIGHT FLUID ( )pneumatocele emphysematous bulla THICK AND IRREGULAR WALL CAVITARY LESION PROJECTIONS PA AP LAT POOR INSPIRATION Good Inspiration Rotation INSPIRATION EXPIRATION
