Bibasilar parenchymal opacities refer to areas of increased density observed in the lower lobes of the lungs on imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans. These opacities can indicate various underlying conditions, including pneumonia, pulmonary edema, or atelectasis. The term "bibasilar" specifies that the opacities are present in both lower lung fields, while "parenchymal" relates to the lung tissue itself. Further evaluation is often necessary to determine the exact cause and significance of these findings.
