Chest X-ray/ interstitial lung disease vs Pneumonia/Types of opacities in lungs

Basically, there are two types of opacities in lungs, which are interstitial opacities and alveolar opacities. Identification of Interstitial opacities from a chest Xray is a challenge for medical students. Moreover, differentiation of alveolar opacities from interstitial opacities is also quite challenging. In fact, interstitial opacities are discrete opacities which don’t tend to coalesce, while alveolar opacities are ill defined opacities that form inside the alveoli and have tendency to coalesce. Easy and sticky method to differentiate the two opacities are given in the video. This video is made for medical students, residents and junior clinicians.

Sir,today i have gotten a patient around 50 yrs old male presented with breathing difficulty/shortness of breath with fatigue on walking some distance.There is no history of fever ,pedal edema.H/o similar attack.Releived on injection theophylline.No h/o chronic smoking.No family hostory.On chest x ray=multiple nodular opacity in the right lung.So what may be most likely diagnosis???

[@radioclinics3325]

Depends upon the size of nodules. If the size of nodules are 2-3 mm, you should think of Miliary tuberculosis, Silicosis. If the size of nodules are larger, think of Metastatic disease. These are just a few most common differentials amongst a large number.

[@user-do5hg6vr7e]

@@radioclinics3325 sir,thank you so much for your respond.Mee too thinking about milliary TB but due to absence of fever puzzled!
