Fleischner Society: Glossary of Terms for Thoracic Imaging1

David M. Hansell, MD, FRCP, FRCR, Alexander A. Bankier, MD, Heber MacMahon, MB, BCh, BAO, Theresa C. McLoud, MD, Nestor L. Müller, MD, PhD, and Jacques Remy, MD

1 From the Department of Radiology, Royal Brompton Hospital, Sydney Street, London SW3 6NP, United Kingdom (D.M.H.); Department of Radiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Mass (A.A.B.); Department of Radiology, University of Chicago Hospital, Chicago, Ill (H.M.); Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Mass (T.C.M.); Department of Radiology, Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (N.L.M.); and Department of Radiology, CHRU de Lille, Hôpital Calmette, Lille, France (J.R.). Received April 21, 2007; revision requested May 29; revision received June 6; accepted August 7; final version accepted September 19. Address correspondence to: D.M.H. (e-mail: d.hansell{at}rbht.nhs.uk).

Members of the Fleischner Society compiled a glossary of terms for thoracic imaging that replaces previous glossaries published in 1984 and 1996 for thoracic radiography and computed tomography (CT), respectively. The need to update the previous versions came from the recognition that new words have emerged, others have become obsolete, and the meaning of some terms has changed. Brief descriptions of some diseases are included, and pictorial examples (chest radiographs and CT scans) are provided for the majority of terms.
