“…Low density within the consolidation can be due to areas of necrosis or fat. (1) Within areas of pulmonary consolidation, necrotic portions show low density, although the values are usually positive, whereas fatty areas show negative density values, ranging from −30 HU to −150 HU. Among lung lesions, negative density can be seen within nodules, masses, or areas of consolidation.…”

“…It can be hypodense (indicative of fat), which is generally characteristic of lipoid pneumonia, or hyperdense, as in pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, parenchymal amyloidosis, talc pneumoconiosis, metastatic pulmonary calcification, and amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity. 1 ) However, most consolidations have soft-tissue density (similar to the densities of the heart and liver). This finding is highly nonspecific, being associated with various diseases; the differential diagnosis depends on the correlation of clinical and laboratory findings.…”

“…Pode ser hipodensa (indicativa de gordura), que geralmente é característica de pneumonia lipoídica, ou hiperdensa, como na microlitíase alveolar pulmonar, amiloidose parenquimatosa, pneumoconiose por talco, calcificação pulmonar metastática e toxicidade pulmonar induzida por amiodarona. (1) No entanto, a maioria das consolidações tem densidade de partes moles (semelhante à densidade do coração e fígado). É um achado muito inespecífico, relacionado com diversas doenças; o diagnóstico diferencial depende da correlação dos achados clínicos e laboratoriais.…”

“…( 9 ) In the same vein, there has been growing interest in the continuing education series on imaging in pulmonary medicine and on scientific methodology, both of which were initiated in 2015. The discussion of various radiological patterns ( 10 ) has been extremely educational and can be used as a reference by residents and graduate students. The same can be said about the series on methodology, which is intended to disseminate knowledge on the topics that are most relevant to the correct interpretation of a scientific article.…”

“…(9) Nesta mesma linha, vem crescendo o interesse pelas séries de educação continuada, iniciadas em 2015, de imagens em pneumologia e de metodologia científica. A discussão sobre os mais diversos padrões radiológicos ( 10 ) tem sido de um didatismo ímpar, a ser utilizado inclusive como referência por residentes e pós-graduandos. O mesmo pode ser dito quanto à série sobre metodologia, que tem a intenção de tornar básicos os tópicos mais relevantes na interpretação de um artigo científico.…”
