I never really understood what an air bronchogram is. It’s basically when you can see the bronchi more clearly because the alveoli around them are fluid-filled. The bronchi are dark because fluid filled alveoli are whiter.

I never really understood what “ground glass appearance” means. So I googled “ground glass.” Actual ground glass is opaque (not see-through).

Ground glass opacity and air bronchograms are seen in infants with respiratory distress syndrome. This occurs when there’s not enough surfactant.

“Air bronchograms refer to a finding typically seen on chest X-rays (however they may be seen in other studies like a chest CT) where air in the bronchus of the patient can be clearly visualized due to surrounding disease. Air bronchograms are a sign of airspace disease within the lung, and can be seen in the context of hazy opacities. It is the presence of fluid or soft tissues in the air that normally surrounds the bronchus that makes the bronchus become visible. Many different things can fill this airspace (fluid, blood, exudate, etc) and produce the presence of air bronchograms.”

For the image: There is airspace disease in the left upper lobe with fluffy, indistinct margins (red arrow) containing air bronchograms (white arrows). This was found to be a staphylococcal pneumonia
