Overview
X Ray
Shrinking lung (radiograph): unexplained dyspnoea. restrictive pattern onpulmonary function tests.
Chest x-ray often shows small but clear lungs with diaphragmatic elevation. Occasional basal atelectasis may be present.
Pleural fibrosis: Pleural thickening
Pulmonary infarct
- wedge-shaped (less often rounded) juxtapleural opacification (Hampton hump) without air bronchograms
- more often in the lower lobes
Pulmonary hypertension
- elevated cardiac apex due to right ventricular hypertrophy
- enlarged right atrium
- prominent pulmonary outflow tract
- enlarged pulmonary arteries
- pruning of peripheral pulmonary vessels
Plumonary alveolar hemorrhage:
Patchy bilateral and acinar areas of increased opacity, predominantly in the lower lungs
respiratory muscle dysfunction
elevated hemidiaphragms at chest radiography
linear atelectasis and an ill-defined juxtadiaphragmatic areas of increased opacity

mesentric vascuitis:
Plain radiographic studies may reveal segmental bowel dilatation, air-fl uid levels, ‘thumb-printing’ or narrowing of the lumen, and pseudo-obstruction
