•Collapse is diminished
volume of air in the lung with associated reduction of lung volume and in consolidation there is diminished volume of air in the lung associated with normal lung volume

• MECHANISMS OF COLLAPSE
• 1)Relaxation or passive collapse
• 2)Cicatrization collapse
• 3)Adhesive collapse
• 4)Resorrption collapse

RADIOLOGICAL SIGNS OF COLLAPSE
• Direct signs of collapse• 1)Displacement of interlobar fissure
• 2)Loss of aeration
• 3)Vascular and bronchial signs
![Page 5: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Indirect signs of collapse• 1)Elevation of hemidiaphragm
• 2)Mediastinal displacement
• 3)Hilar displacement
• 4)Compensatory hyperinflation
![Page 6: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Patterns of lung collapse• 1)Complete collapse of a lung
• 2)Lobar collapse
![Page 7: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1)COMPLETE COLLAPSE
• Causes opaque hemithorax with displacement of mediastinum to the affected side with compensatory hyperinflation of opposite lung often with herniation across midline.
• Herniation mostly occurs in retrosternal space but may occur posterior to heart or under aortic arch

LOBAR COLLAPSE
•RUL collapse• Horizontal fissure displaced upward,The
upper half of oblique fissure moves anteriorly.
• Hilum is elevated
• Tracheal deviation to right• Compensatory hyperinflation of right middle
and lower lobes may be seen

• Golden‘s (reverse S) sign. a. Chest X-ray of a patient with a centrally located mass. The reverse S sign due to right upper lobe atelectasis is clearly depicted. The lateral portion of the ‘S’ is formed by the superiorly displaced minor fissure and the medial portion by the mass (arrows). b. Golden S.

• Juxtaphrenic peak sign• The juxtaphrenic peak sign, which occurs in upper lobe
atelectasis, describes the triangular opacity projecting superiorly at the medial half of the diaphragm (Fig. 13). It is most commonly related to the presence of an inferior accessory fissure[7]. The mechanism is not known with certainty; according to one theory, the negative pressure of upper lobe atelectasis causes upward retraction of the visceral pleura, and protrusion of extrapleural fat into the recess of the fissure is responsible[15]. The juxtaphrenic sign can also be seen in combined right upper and middle lobe volume loss or even with middle lobe collapse only.

• 2)RML collapse• Horizontal fissure and oblique fissure move
towards one another• Obscuration of right heart border• Lordotic AP projection best for middle lobe
collapse• Volume of this lobe is small so indirect signs
rarely present.

Posteroanterior (PA) (left) and lateral chest (right) radiographs. A right middle lobe collapse obliterates the
right heart border on the PA image and projects as a wedge-shaped opacity on the lateral view.

• 3)RLL collapse• Depression of horizontal fissure• Increase opacity of collapse lower lobe • In case of complete collapse of lower lobe it may
be so small that it merges with mediastinum and produce a thin wedge shape shadow.
• Mediastinal parts and adjacent diaphragm obscured
• Hila depressed• Diaphragm elevation is not usual

right lower lobe collapse that results in volume loss, obliteration of the right side of the diaphragm,
and a posterior opacity.

collapse on USG
• Sonography of the chest was done in this patient. Images reveal a large, clear, hypoechoic fluid collection in the left pleural space. The left lung has collapsed into a small mass of tissue compressed by the effusion. A small fibrotic band is seen traversing the fluid. These ultrasound images are diagnostic of pleuraleffusion
![Page 43: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• 4)LUL collapse• Anterior displacement of entire oblique
fissure
• Ill defined hazy opacity in upper,mid and sometimes lower zone
• Hila elevated
• Aortic knuckle obscured.
![Page 44: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• With increasing collapse upper lobe retracts posteriorly and loses contact with anterior chest wall.
• The space between the collapsed lung and sternum is occupied by either hyperinflatedleft lower lobe or herniated right upper lobe.
• When complete collapse occurs LUL lose contact with chest wall and diaphragm and retract medially against the mediastinum
![Page 45: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• On lateral film therefore LUL collapse appears as an elongated opacity extending from apex and almost reaching diaphragm,anterior to hilum and is bounded by displaced oblique fissure posteriorly and by hyperinflated lower lobe anteriorly
![Page 46: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

• The lateral view is usually definitive and often highly characteristic.
• As the LUL collapses, the fissure moves forward pivoting at its lowest point
![Page 48: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• The lateral view demonstrates the highly characteristic collapsed lobe which now lies parallel to the sternum

• The PA view will show an area of increased opacity in the left upper lobe with an ill-defined margin.
![Page 51: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• The PA view will shows an area of increased opacity in the left upper lobe with an ill-defined margin.
• Note the loss of the heart shadow/mediastinum and the mediastinal shift

• Luftsichel sign• The word “Luftsichel” in German means “air
crescent”. This sign is seen in severe left upper lobe collapse. Due to the lack of a minor fissure on the left side, upper lobe collapse causes vertical positioning and anterior and medial displacement of the major fissure. The superior segment of the left lower lobe migrates superior and anteriorly between the arch of the aorta and the atelectatic lobe. The crescent-shaped radiolucency around the aortic arch is called the Luftsichel sign
![Page 53: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

• Left upper lobe collapse. This radiograph shows an opacity that is contiguous with the aortic knob, a smaller left hemithorax, and a mediastinal shift. The luftsichel sign involves hyperextension of the superior segment of the left lower lobe, which then occupies the left apex
![Page 55: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

CONSOLIDATION• Replacement of air in one or more acini by
fluid or solid material
• Smallest unit of consolidated lung is acinus casts 7mm diameter shadow
• Confluence occurs
![Page 66: Collapse and consolidation Lung Radiology](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554b11bab4c90569098b4a2a/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

• When consolidation is associated with
patent conducting airway an air bronchogram seen.It is produced by contrast between the column of air in the airway and surrounding opaque acini
• If consolidation is secondary to bronchial obstruction affected area is of unifrorm density with no air bronchograms.

USG consolidation• Sonography of the left lung reveals
loss of normal aeration of the lung parenchyma with echogencity and texture similar to that of the spleen below. The echogenic left dome of diaphragm is seen separating the lower lobe of the lung from the spleen. The normal aerated lung surface would reflect all the sound waves producing a strong shadow. These ultrasound images suggest consolidation of the lung. Image courtesy of Dr. Gunjan Puri, Surat, India. Image taken using a Toshiba Xario, ultrasound and color doppler machine.
