"Lung fields no focal lung consolidation" refers to a radiological finding in which the lungs appear clear and free from localized areas of opacity that would indicate consolidation, such as pneumonia or other lung infections. This term suggests that the lung tissue is functioning normally without any significant abnormalities or fluid accumulation. It is often noted in chest X-rays or CT scans, indicating healthy lung conditions. Overall, it is a positive finding in imaging studies of the chest.

hyperaerated
Lower lobe consolidation of the lung refers to a condition where the air spaces in the lower part of the lung fill up with fluid, pus, blood, or other substances. This can be caused by infections such as pneumonia or aspiration of foreign material. It can present with symptoms like cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care to help clear the consolidation.
Lung fields will appear white
The term air bronchogram is used to describe a condition in which the bronchi stand out prominently due to increased contrast brought about by changes in the surrounding lung tissue. The change can be due to pneumonic consolidation, collapse of a part of the lung, or inflammatory edema in the lung tissue. It is not specific to any disease.
"Nil focal" on a chest X-ray indicates that there are no localized abnormalities or lesions detected in the lung fields or surrounding structures. Essentially, it suggests that the examination did not reveal any focal opacities, masses, or other concerning findings. This is generally a positive result, indicating a normal appearance of the chest.
Lung compliance = Lung expandability
The right lung has three lobes.
She was exposed to toxins from the fields she was forced to work in......... I think.
Increased fremitus over areas of consolidation occurs because the consolidated lung tissue becomes denser and conducts vibrations better than healthy lung tissue. This increases the transmission of vibrations from the bronchi to the chest wall, leading to increased tactile fremitus felt during palpation.

Focal infiltrate refers to a localized area of abnormal tissue or cells that have invaded a specific region of the body. This can be seen on imaging studies or during medical examinations and may indicate inflammation, infection, or a tumor. Further evaluation is typically necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
