Understanding normal anatomy is key before being able to understand what is abnormal Anatomy reviewVisceral pleura hugs the lungs (forms fissures), parietal pleura lines chest wallLobes of the lung: right lung has upper, middle, and lower lobes, left lung has upper and lower lobesFissures: right lung has horizontal/minor fissure and oblique major fissure, left lung has one huge oblique major fissure Invisible or fine white lines, if thickened may represent excess fluid from a pro...
