Correct!
1. The chest radiograph shows a solitary pulmonary nodule
The frontal chest radiograph shows a borderline-to-mildly enlarged heart with a tortuous and possibly dilated ascending aorta (assessment is compromised by the left anterior oblique positioning of the chest radiograph). A circumscribed solitary pulmonary nodule is faintly visible over the peripheral right mid-lung (Figure 2).

No convincing evidence of airway thickening or bronchiectasis is evident, and the lung volumes appear normal. No features of pulmonary fibrosis are seen. A small nodular, or miliary, pattern, is not present. There is no evidence of either cavitary lung nodule or consolidation.
