1. spine sign if vertebrae appear more white on lateral projection, there may be a
consolidation/pneumonia in a lower lobe (positive spine sign)
vertebrae should appear black (lucent)
2. Silhouette sign for: RML consolidation
R heart border lingual consolidation (LML)
L heart border lower lobe consolidation
hemidiaphragms LLL consolidation
lower descending aorta
3. air bronchograms represent air-filled airways surrounded by lung consolidation; the air can
be seen since the air in the alveoli has been replaced with an alveolar
filling process
not seen in pneumonia
4. ground glass appear- atypical bacterial and viral organism pneumonia
ance and increased in-
terstitial markings blood vessels that are not obscured by CT
5. mycoplasma pneumo- Kerley B lines
nia can produce
(thickening of interlobular septa that will touch the pleura-- blood vessels
won't touch the pleura)
6. what do you see on a blood vessels are obscured by CT and air bronchograms are more com-
radiograph of a consol- mon
idaiton
7. when do you follow up over 40
on pneumonia patients history of recurrent pneumonia
smoker at any time
symptoms that won't resolve
