title: Computed tomography of rounded atelectasis.
abstract: High resolution CT of a fixed-inflated air-dried lung was obtained from a patient with rounded atelectasis. The dense periphery of the mass was shown to correspond to an invagination of the pleura, and the central lucency to slightly aerated atelectatic lung parenchyma.
