Septic emboli Septic emboli usually present as multiple ill-defined nodules. In about 50% cavitation is seen. CT demonstrates more lesions than the chest film and can suggest the diagnosis in the proper clinical setting by demonstrating wegde-shaped peripheral lesions abutting the pleura, air-bronchograms within the ill-defined nodules and a feeding vessel sign (7). Some argue whether there is really something like a feeding vessel sign (8). Here a patient with septic emboli. The chest film shows two ill-defined densities iin the left lung, which are probably consolidations. On the CT cavitation is seen and another density with cavitation in the right lung. #Clinical #Radiology #CXR #CTChest #Septic #Emboli #SepticEmboli #Cavity #RadiologyAssistant
