Figure 1. Series of chest X-ray images from the day of admission to the last day of admission. (a) Retrocardiac consolidation and patchy infiltrate in the left upper to mid lung fields and patchy infiltrate in the right lung, suspicious for pneumonic infiltrate (day 1). (b) There are bilateral patchy infiltrates unchanged, with no pleural fluid, and no pneumothorax (day 3). (c) Markedly suboptimal depth of inspiration. Bilateral hazy to patchy pneumonic infiltrates persist, but mild improvement from previous study (day 5). (d) Shallow depth of inspiration, mild atelectasis in the right perihilar distribution, and lungs otherwise grossly clear (day 7).
