lingual consolidation with air bronchogram

http://radiologymasterclass.co.uk/tutorials/chest/chest_path...

Air bronchogram

If an area of lung is consolidated it becomes dense and white. If the larger airways are spared, they are of relatively low density (blacker). This phenomenon is known as air bronchogram and it is a characteristic sign of consolidation.

Consolidation with air bronchogram
(See Figure in link)

https://books.google.it/books?isbn=078177232X
Note the presence of patent bronchi within the consolidation (air bronchogram) and the presence of ground-glass opacities at the boundary of the consolidation

Peer comment(s):

agree JudyC : "patent bronchi" is an option so I agree. "A carico di" (involving/affecting) refers to the consolidation not the bronchi
