Abstract

Airspace disease indicates filling of pulmonary alveoli. The pulmonary acinus is the basic structural unit of the lung. Acinar filling results in airspace opacification that may be evident on a radiograph. Causes of airspace disease could be acute or chronic. This chapter reviews the radiographic appearance and causes of airspace disease.
