Atelectasis

Anaesthesia's effect on the lungs causes almost everyone who undergoes surgery to have some atelectasis. Inhaled objects, asthma and other lung diseases and injuries can also cause atelectasis.

Cardiomegaly

An enlarged heart, which is usually a sign of another condition.

Cardiomegaly is usually a sign of another condition such as a heart valve problem or heart disease. It may also signal a prior heart attack. It can also occur from bodily stress caused by pregnancy or certain infections.

Consolidation

pulmonary consolidation is a region of normally compressible lung tissue that has filled with liquid instead of air. The condition is marked by induration (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung.

Edema

Pulmonary edema is often caused by congestive heart failure. When the heart is not able to pump efficiently, blood can back up into the veins that take blood through the lungs. As the pressure in these blood vessels increases, fluid is pushed into the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs.

Effusion

A build up of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and the chest.

(Fluid can accumulate around the lungs due to poor pumping by the heart or by inflammation.

Emphysema

Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged. Over time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones.

Fibrosis

Pulmonary Fibrosis is a serious lung disease, but what exactly is it? Pulmonary, meaning lung, and fibrosis, meaning scar tissue, basically means exactly what the name translates to: scarring in the lungs. Beyond the problems scars present, pulmonary fibrosis impacts how you breathe and get oxygen into the blood

Hernia

diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the muscle between the chest and abdomen that helps you breathe. The opening allows part of the organs from the belly to move into the chest cavity near the lungs.

Infiltration

pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis, and nocardiosis. Pulmonary infiltrates can be observed on a chest radiograph.

Mass lung

lung mass is defined as an abnormal spot or area in the lungs that are more than 3 centimeters (cm), about 1 1/2 inches, in size. Spots smaller than 3 cm in diameter are considered lung nodules.

Nodules

A lung nodule (or mass) is a small abnormal area that is sometimes found during a CT scan of the chest. These scans are done for many reasons, such as part of lung cancer screening, or to check the lungs if you have symptoms. Most lung nodules seen on CT scans are not cancer

Plural thickening

Pleural thickening is a condition triggered by asbestos exposure that causes the pleural lining of the lungs, known as the pleura, to thicken with scar tissue. This scarring, also known as fibrosis, restricts lung function and may cause chest pain and difficulty breathing.

Pneumonia

Infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid.

With pneumonia, the air sacs may fill with fluid or pus. The infection can be life-threatening to anyone, but particularly to infants, children and people over 65.

Pneumothorax

collapsed lung.

This condition occurs when air leaks into the space between the lungs and chest wall. A blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain medical procedures or lung disease can cause a pneumothorax.

No finding

No finding lungs clear and heart shadow normal.....
