Spine Sign


40F c h/o CHF p/w SOB and productive cough.  Radiology report made no mention of focal consolidation.  The vertebral bodies should become more lucent the more inferior they are, but you can clearly see they become more opaque in this lateral view - a finding called "the spine sign."  This is consistent with a focal consolidation.
