Glossary
- air bronchogram
- black airways (air)
- white lung (no air)
- air trapping
- atelectasis = collapse
- atoll sign = reversed halo
- bleb
- bronchiectasis
- irreversible bronchial dilation
- three signs
- (1) signet ring sign
- (2) lack of tapering
- (3) visible bronchi within 1cm of pleural surface ("tram tracking")
- special types
- traction bronchiectasis
- tickened, irregular bronchial walls
- traction bronchiolectasis
- dilation of bronchioles
- fibrosis + honeycombing
- bulla
- cavity
- consolidation
- increased attenuation due to less air in alveoli
- "verdichting"
- cyst
- distribution
- bronchocentric
- centrilobular
- diffuse
- endobronchial: in lumen
- extrapleural
- fissural
- focal
- geographic
- multifocal
- peribronchovascular
- perilobular
- perilymphatic
- pleural
- emphysema
- empyema
- ground glass = mat glas
- halo
- ground glass surrounding nodule
- honeycombing
- mass
- nodulus
- max 3cm
- soorten
- centrilobulair
- micronodulus: max 7mm
- matglas = non-solid
- solid
- half-solid
- opacity (= infiltrate): increased attenuation
- patterns
- crazy paving
- focal, ground-glass opacities
- septal thickening
- intralobular reticular lines
- interstitial
- miliary: diffuse micronodules
- mosaic: patchworks of normal and abnormal attenuation
- nodular
- reticular: collection of linear opacities that resemble a net
- reticulonodular: both
- tree-in-bud: micronodules connected to linear opacities
- signet ring sing = zegelring
- dilated bronchus compared to associated artery
- sign of bronchiectasis
