4. The chest radiograph shows multifocal, somewhat basal predominant linear opacities suggesting fibrosis
The predominant findings on the chest radiograph are linear and reticular opacities, with some areas showing small cystic foci. These findings are best seen in the lung bases bilaterally. No discrete lung nodules are seen and the mediastinal and hilar contours are within normal limits. No mass is evident. While there is some increased attenuation in the bases, likely the result of the summation of the linear and reticular opacities that are present, no significant consolidation is present.
