I'm a nearly-retired Thoracic Radiologist at the University of Utah.
My primary aspiration as a reporting radiologist is: the narrowest Differential Diagnosis possible -- preferably one only.

My comments and assertions are, of course, my own.
This seems to be a complete disruption of the aortic lumen just distal to left subclavian artery.

Thus, an interrupted aorta with rib notching also on the CXR (blue arrows).

Agree ?

Sometimes the frontal CXR tells the whole story:

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

What "...appropriate clinical setting" are you thinking of ?

Here's a follow-up CT done ~ 4 months later (prior to a surgical lung biopsy done another ~ 3 months later).

A clinical-imaging diagnosis of ILD was made in this patient.

How would you describe/report the (representative) CT images ?

I'll post a follow-up CT series later.
