"type II - compression shear: the lung is compressed by lateral compression, against the thoracic spine leading to a paravertebral tubular lesion in lower part of the lung."
"cavitation associated with post contusion pneumonia: can develop days after the initial trauma whereas lacerations are seen at the initial time of imaging."
"traumatic pneumatocoele"
"type I - compression rupture: most common type of laceration that usually occurs as a 2-8 cm lesion in the central lung"
"type II - compression shear: the lung is compressed by lateral compression, against the thoracic spine leading to a paravertebral tubular lesion in lower part of the lung."
"Pulmonary lacerations result from frank laceration of lung parenchyma secondary to trauma. There is almost always concurrent contusion."
"type III - direct puncture / rib penetration: occur with a penetrating fractured rib; these lesions are commonly multiple"
