X-ray of lobar pneumonia gives accurate results about the condition of the disease. Accordingly, the X-ray image of lobar pneumonia is a opacity that may occupy the entire lobe of the lung, usually the right lobe. However, it is necessary to distinguish lobar pneumonia from other diseases such as lobar tumor...

Lobar pneumonia is an acute type of pneumonia. X-ray of lobar pneumonia shows that the disease mainly affects the alveoli with large size, which may occupy the entire lung lobe or part of the lobe. The disease mainly occurs in the middle lobe of the right lung and is caused by pneumococci. The disease progresses through stages including: exudative, red hepatization and gray hepatization.

Currently, with the development of medical science, modern imaging techniques allow the assessment of lung lesions accurately. In particular, X-ray is still the first method to be performed in the initial disease diagnosis with accurate results.
The X-ray results of lobar pneumonia are as follows:
The pleura is blurred evenly. The lobar lesion was defined as a uniform and uniform opacification located in the lower half of the right lung. Lesions are large, triangular opacities that may occupy the entire right middle lobe, or the entire lobe of the lung. Based on X-ray images of lobar pneumonia to differentiate pneumonia from lobar pneumonia:
Lobar pneumonia: The lesion is a uniform opacities, occupying an entire lobe of the lung, usually the lower lobe of the lung. right lung. The blur has convex edges. Lung volume increases. Lobar lobar inflammation: The lesion is triangular opacities with convex edges, apex toward the hilum and base toward the periphery.

X-ray images of lobar pneumonia allow differential diagnosis with atelectasis, specifically:
Lobar atelectasis shows a decrease in lobar or lobe lung volume, while lobar pneumonia increases the volume. . Lobar lesions are opacities with concave edges, while lobar pneumonia opacities are convex edges. Lobar collapse can cause pull on the adjacent lung. The X-ray image of lobar pneumonia is the basis for diagnosis, with the lesion being a uniform, triangular opacity. Imaging results play an important role in the differential diagnosis of whether the lesion is a partial lobe or the whole lobe of the lung, with damage from other pathologies such as atelectasis.
X-ray of lobar pneumonia gives accurate results about the condition of the disease, so that doctors will give the most accurate treatment regimen for the patient.
