What is air bronchogram?
Air bronchogram refers to the phenomenon of air-filled bronchi (dark) being made visible by the opacification of surrounding alveoli (grey - white). It is almost always caused by a pathologic airspace (alveolar) process, in which something other than air fills the alveoli. Air bronchograms will not be visible if the bronchi themselves are opacified (e.g. by fluid).
Dependent bilateral airspce space consolidation si present with prominent air bronchograms. Nasogastric tube, Swan Ganz catheter, endotracheal tube, aortic valve replacement and right internal jugular central venous catheter are in situ.
