“…Typically, atelectasis is visualized on chest radiographs as increased density and decreased volume associated with decreased intercostal spaces, deviation of mediastinal structures, such as the trachea and the heart, elevation of the ipsilateral diaphragm and hyperinflation of the contralateral lung. (5) However, technical problems, such as X-ray beam underpenetration and inadequate centralization, compromise the quality of the exam, which may result in nonspecific imaging features described as hypolucency or opacity. [3][4] Specific radiological features may appear on a chest radiograph and may affect a lobe, a segment or the entire lung 5 .…”

Hypolucency, which may indicate pulmonary edema, bleeding, atelectasis, or consolidations, is another radiological characteristic that is commonly seen on the chest X-rays of premature infants.…”
