Imaging Pneumonia

Case 8-Answers

This large opacity is in the lower right chest on the frontal view, and anterior, overlying the heart on the lateral view, consistent with another right middle lobe pneumonia.

The opacity fills the entire right middle lobe region on the lateral view, between the minor fissure (red) and the major fissure (green).

The opacity completely obscures the right heart border (red dotted line) but not the right hemidiaphragm (yellow).
