Just like. A mosaic tile which has black and white areas , the lungs as seen on CT if shows black and white alternate areas ( white representing normal lung and black representing areas of trapped air ) it’s called mosaic attenuation .
Next Steps
Would like to see the CT films . Kindly consider for a personal video or audio consult for further detailed explanation and symptoms and treatment plan
