pneumonia

Based on the history, what is the most likely diagnosis? Given the patient's age and symptoms, pneumonia seems most likely. Does the chest radiograph support this diagnosis? Yes, there is a somewhat ill-defined abnormality in the right lung that could be pneumonia. What term would you use to describe the finding? This is an area that is too white on a radiograph, so it is an opacity

What view is this? Can you see the opacity? What lobe of the lung is most likely involved?
