(Left) CXR SARS Patient – Consider the extensive bilateral ground-glass opacities and poorly defined nodular pattern. In this case diffuse involvement Rt lung, Lt apical sparing. There is mild air-space consolidation is seen in retro-cardiac region of RLL. Mild cardiomegaly present,.

(Right) Bedside supine AP CXR – same patient in Fig. 3, radiograph taken 12 hr after initial radiograph – Note progressive disease in SARS patient, consistent with rapidly declining ARDS. Findings: diffuse bilateral air-space consolidation, prominent air bronchograms. Clinical caveat: note the low position of the endotracheal tube (ETT), and gaseous distention of stomach.,.
