The frontal and lateral chest radiograph (Figure 1) shows normal heart size and no focal consolidation or evidence of pleural effusion. Lung volumes are normal. A focal opacity without air bronchograms is present in the right apex, but no clear bone destruction in this region or elsewhere is seen (Figure 2). No nodules are present, nor is multifocal consolidation.
