Chest X-Rays

Lobar Pneumonia

Infiltration of the right middle lobe.

Right sided pneumonia.

Extensive consolidation and air bronchograms with loss of the right hemidiaphragm in keeping with right lower lobe pneumonia.

Notice that the left heart margin remains distinct - helping distinguish upper from lower lobe pneumonia.

Right upper lobe consolidation with air bronchograms. Features of pneumonia.

Arrow show areas of consolidation.

Interstitial Pneumonia

Infiltration of the right middle lobe.

CT Images

Pneumonia with abscesses on both lungs, caverns on the left lung and effusions on both lungs.

Right sided pneumonia.
