4. The chest radiograph shows multiple, bilateral circumscribed nodules
The chest radiograph shows multiple, bilateral circumscribed nodules, but the nodules do not contain internal lucency- there is no evidence of cavitation. The interstitium does not appear abnormally thickened and lung volumes appear normal. The circumscribed nature of the opacities, and the lack of air bronchograms, indicate that the chest radiographic abnormalities should not be characterized as consolidation. The hilar and mediastinal contours appear normal- no evidence of peribronchial or mediastinal lymphadenopathy is seen.
