|
Reticulonodular pattern |
A collection of innumerable small, linear, and nodular opacities that together produce a composite appearance resembling a net with small superimposed nodules. The reticular and nodular elements are dimensionally of similar magnitude [Fraser and Pare]. |
|

|
Nodular pattern |
A collection of innumerable, small discrete opacities ranging in diameter from 2-10 mm, generally uniform in size and widespread in distribution, and without marginal spiculation [Fraser and Pare]. |

|
Reticular pattern |
A collection of innumerable small linear opacities that together produce an appearance resembling a net [Fraser and Pare]. |
|

|
Abnormal interstitial pattern |
A collection of opacities detected within the continuum of loose connective tissue throughout the lung, that is not expected in a diagnostically normal radiograph. |

Small irregular opacities |
Term used to define a reticular pattern specific to pneumoconioses [Fraser and Pare]. |

|
Granular pattern |
Any extended, finely granular pattern of pulmonary opacity within which normal anatomic details are partly obscured [Fraser and Pare]. |

|
Honeycomb pattern |
A number of closely approximated ring shadows representing air spaces 5-10 mm in diameter with walls 2-3 mm thick that resemble a true honeycomb; implies "end-stage" lung [Fraser and Pare]. |

|
Miliary pattern |
A collection of tiny discrete opacities in the lungs, each measuring 2 mm or less in diameter, generally uniform in size and widespread in distribution [Fraser and Pare]. |
