This playlist only demontrates the typical X-ray features of lobar collapses and rounded atelectasis.

Look for:

consolidation with volume loss
displaced hilum
paucity of the vascular markings (secondary to concomitant inflation)
heart border effacement (RML)
opacity in the projectionof the heart (LLL, RLL)
Golden S-sign (RUL)
veil like diffuse opacity (LUL)

Lateral film helps a lot!
