Pathology

Additive Capsule infection, increased thickness

Additive Swelling, increased tissue thickness

Additive Abnormal new growth

Additive “wrinkled sheet” Collapsing lung causes lung tissue density to increase

Additive Enlargement of heart

Additive Decreased cardiac output, leads to increased lung density

Additive Fluid buildup in pleural space leads to increase in lung tissue density

Additive Inflammation, abnormal thickening

Additive Removal of lung will cause affected side to fill with fluid

Additive Fluid buildup

Tuberculosis Additive Infection that causes inflammatory response

Additive Fluid buildup in abdomen

Additive Enlarged liver Can result in ascites

Additive Calcium deposits Most common in gallbladder and urinary tract

Additive Excessive growth bone mass

additive new bone growth

additive extra CSF

additive “cotton wool” appearance increased bone cell activity

Subtractive loss of calcified bone

Subtractive wasting away, decreased thickness of tissue

Subtractive alveoli lose elasticity lungs appear extra black

Subtractive collapsed lung Free air in pleural cavity Appearance: absence of lung markings

Subtractive increased accumulation of air or fluid

Subtractive bone infection leading to loss of tissue
