No loss of long volmue or lungs normal Explanation: Longholte is referring to the space normally occupied by the lungs. If the X-ray is normal the lungs will fill up the total space and there is no longholte (loss of volume). If the X-ray demonstrates a collapsed lung f. e. there would be loss of volume (longholte) See attached links Reference: http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/meded/medicine/pulmonar/cxr...

evidence of bullae Explanation: The chest X-ray revealed no evidence of bullae this is my guess the Dutch is peculiar I would 'translate' it as: geen beeld van holtes in de longen of: er worden geen holtes in de longen gezien of: geen bevindingen van holtes in de longen this is about COPD emphysema may be part of COPD 'holtes' may occur in the course of emphysema that is, holes called 'bullae' what they indicate here is that the chest X-ray shows no evidence of 'bullea' Preoperative spirography revealed restrictive impairment, and a plain chest x-ray revealed no evidence of bullae, although clear lung markings were not visible at the apex of the right lung. http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12630-009-9116... Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), chronic airflow limitation (CAL) and chronic obstructive respiratory disease (CORD), is the occurrence of chronic bronchitis or * emphysema *, a pair of commonly co-existing diseases of the lungs in which the airways narrow over time On chest x-ray, the classic signs of COPD are overexpanded lung (hyperinflation), a flattened diaphragm, increased retrosternal airspace, and * bullae * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_obstructive_pulmonary_d... Complications of Emphysema If you have emphysema, you are also more likely to develop the following: Large holes in the lungs (giant bullae): some patients with emphysema develop empty spaces in their lungs, known as bullae, with giant bullae being holes in the lungs as large as half the lung. Bullae reduce the amount of available space for the lung to expand, and can also become infected and increase the risk of pneumothorax. http://www.nmh.org/nm/emphysema Bullae Bullae are often associated with emphysema. By definition, a bulla is a gas-containing, avascular area of lung at least 1 cm in diameter and with a wall thickness of at least 1 mm. The arrows indicate bullae visible on the chest x-ray (left) http://www.torontonotes.ca/airspace/bullae |

No pulmonary cavities imaging Explanation: or No imaging findings of pulmonary cavities. http://radiopaedia.org/articles/pulmonary-cavity Pulmonary cavities are thick-walled cystic parenchymal masses. By definition, their walls must be greater than 5 mm and they may be filled with air or fluid and may demonstrated air-fluid levels. http://cmr.asm.org/content/21/2/305.full A pulmonary cavity is a gas-filled area of the lung in the center of a nodule or area of consolidation and may be clinically observed by use of plain chest radiography or computed tomography. |

signs of cavity formation Explanation: I have this in my glossary, having researched the term for a job some time ago, but did not note the source I'm afraid. |
