Question 4 - Single Best Answer



What is the significant x-ray finding on the above PA CXR?

D) Right middle lobe alveolar density obscuring the right heart border

Sorry...
The right heart border is sharp. Although one can make out the shadow of the right central (hilar) pulmonary vessels, there are no significant densities obscuring the right heart border. An alveolar density would appear as fluffy density.
