The chest radiograph shows a patchy opacity within the left mid-lung zone, which is non-specific and could represent atelectasis, pulmonary contusion, or other air space disease. No evidence of pneumothorax or rib fractures is seen. The lungs appear somewhat low in volume. The cardiomedialstinal silhouette is not well-evaluated on this radiograph. An upright evaluation is recommended if there is clinical concern.
Acute rib fracture (Absent) Atelectasis (Uncertain) Air space opacity–multifocal (Uncertain) Simple pneumothorax (Absent)
