🔎 *Understanding Hyperlucency on Chest Xray:* 🔸 Hyperinflation: Hyperlucency may result from hyperinflated lung regions, often seen in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 🔸 Pneumothorax: A collapsed lung or air in the pleural space can lead to hyperlucency, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding lung tissue. 🔸 Bullae: Large, air-filled spaces called bullae can contribute to hyperlucency, and they may be associated with conditions like emphysema. 📚 Recognizing hyperlucency is vital for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of underlying respiratory conditions.
