1. Chest frontal imaging shows a focal right lung nodule
The frontal and lateral chest radiographs show normal lung volumes; no evidence of basal fibrosis is present, nor is there evidence of peribronchial or mediastinal lymph node enlargement. However, a focal nodular opacity is present in the right upper lobe. There is no evidence of numerous, small, disseminated pulmonary nodules and only one nodule is seen, in the right upper lobe (Figure 2).
