}Members of the Fleischner Society compiled a glossary of terms for thoracic imaging that replaces previous glossaries published in 1984 and 1996 for thoracic radiography and computed tomography (CT), respectively. The need to update the previous versions came from the recognition that new words have emerged, others have become obsolete, and the meaning of some terms has changed. Brief descriptions of some diseases are included, and pictorial examples (chest radiographs and CT scans) are…

The Glossary was originally proposed at the first general meeting of the Society of 1971 in the belief that standardization of terms with respect to the description of radiographic findings would facilitate the exchange of information and is now judged to be sufficiently inclusive to be of general interest.

Computed tomography was performed on patients with bronchiectasis and it was concluded that CT should have a role in establishing the presence and anatomic extent of bronchiECTasis.
Radiographic Manifestations of Lobar Atelectasis
- MedicineJournal of thoracic imaging
- 1996
The recognition of lobar atelectasis is important, particularly in cases stemming from obstructing endobronchial tumors, and careful analysis of the chest radiograph and subtle alterations in the fissures and hilar vascularity aids in differentiating lobarAtelectasis from other intrathoracic processes.
