Bilateral lower lobe subsegmental PEs

Updates to Study Attributes

Findings was changed:

Branching fat density lesion within the distal left upper lobe bronchus and extending into the proximal lingular bronchi, causing downstream collapse. No enhancement. Punctate calcification adjacent to the lesion likely within the bronchial wall. When compared to prior imaging a small lobulated fat density lesion was within this same location, and it howhas now enlarged. Lingular collapse appears longstanding, noting that there is compensatory bronchial artery dilatation.

Incidental right top pulmonary vein (normal variant)
