Kerley B (septal) lines

Discussion:

The septal lines and ground-glass opacity are most suggestive of pulmonary edema. Be sure to look at the PA chest X-ray and the coronal CT images to better appreciate the appearance of Kerley B lines. 

Normal heart size is compatible with pulmonary edema. Diastolic dysfunction and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema are examples of this.
