3. The chest radiograph shows multiple, bilateral poorly defined nodular opacities
The chest radiograph shows no evidence of pleural disease and the mediastinal width appears normal. Bilateral, somewhat poorly defined parenchymal opacities are present, most easily visualized in the left upper and lower lobes. These opacities are nodular appearing, and not linear or reticular, in morphology.
The patient was admitted to the hospital. A follow up chest radiograph (Figure 2) 2 days later was performed.
