3. The chest radiograph shows bilateral linear and reticular opacities
The frontal chest radiograph shows curvilinear bilateral basal opacities and possible linear and reticular abnormalities, suggesting a possible interstitial infiltrative pulmonary abnormality, best seen in the right lung. These findings, while abnormal, are very non-specific. The abnormal findings at chest radiography are mostly linear and reticular in morphology; no small nodules are definitely seen. The lung volumes appear relatively normal. No pneumothorax is present. The heart is at most upper normal in size, but the mediastinal contours are otherwise normal. No areas of consolidation are present.
