Case 12
This radiograph demonstrates pneumomediastinum in the form of streaky lucencies at the base of the neck. A benign calcified granuloma is noted in the left lower lung field. The study is otherwise unremarkable.
Age 31-60
Case 11
This radiograph demonstrates a poorly defined focal opacity in the left inferior lung field consistent with pneumonia. The opacity silhouettes the left heart border, which localizes it to the lingular segment. There is a high degree of soft tissue attenuation consistent with obesity. The exam is otherwise unremarkable.
Case 8
This case demonstrates bilateral eventration of the diaphragm. Eventration is the result of localized atrophy of the diaphragmatic muscle or localized replacement with fibroelastic tissue, which gives the diaphragm an irregular contour on imaging. It can be part of normal aging, as in this case, congenital, or post-traumatic. The study is otherwise unremarkable.
Case 3
This radiograph demonstrates true dextrocardia, which was confirmed by reviewing multiple past radiographs. If no prior radiographs are present, discussion with the technologist to ensure that the image was not inadvertently mirrored would be appropriate. The study is otherwise unremarkable.
