Answer to Question 1

A
Frequently, the CT scan results on a patient with pneumonia will show air bronchograms and consolidation because the alveoli are filled with fluids while the airways are patent. Depressed diaphragms and elongated heart are seen in patients with COPD because of air trapping.

Answer to Question 2

C
Starbursts, also called perihilar streaking, are indicative of pulmonary vascular congestion.
