Patient notes (drug trial patient)
This is more than just pneumothorax, which is PNX. This is a cardiology-related document relating to PM implantation. "Dopo impianto di pace-maker non sono francamente risonoscibili significative falde di PNX. Non segni di versamento pleurico."

Thoracic postoperative complications are difficult to diagnose on supine chest X-rays, with pneumothoraxes accompanied by underlying atelectasis presenting as non-specific opacities due to the superposition of the two entities having opposed radiographic characteristics, with one causing lucency and the other opacity
The supine chest X-ray was performed, revealing a superior right quadrant chest opacity.
The radiologist requested a follow-up computed tomography (CT) within the hour to elucidate the origin of the respiratory distress. The CT scan revealed a right sided pneumothorax (white star) with air rising anteriorly and caudally

Opacity is a term used to describe any area that preferentially absorbs and therefore appears more opaque than the surrounding area on a radiograph. It does not indicate the size or pathological structure of the abnormality

Chest radiographs are the cornerstone for diagnosing pneumothorax.
The radiographs may be completely unremarkable or may demonstrate an opacity surrounding the intrathoracic portion of the chest tube, representing surrounding hematoma.

Pneumothorax opacities can be identified by radiography.
In other words, opacity refers to any area that appears white on a chest radiograph when it should be darker. On both CT and chest radiographs, normal lungs appear dark compared to surrounding tissues because air has a relatively lower density

: falda=rim falda di pneumotorace=rim of pneumothorax. Allegare cortesemente riferimenti in italiano e in inglese? No, la sua proposta è sbagliata in qualunque contesto, è un termine molto tecnico ed è quello corretto, attendo suoi riferimenti. Grazie

if we are talking about an RX it is pneumothorax opacities or collection. Maybe there's a misunderstanding. IF we are talking about an RX it is as I said, otherwise your answer is correct. The asker will choose contextually. Have a nice day

: Hi Liz. I think "pneumothorax" by itself would be enough. See the 28 previous entries for this term.

Lucent (lucency) – an area where x-ray beams pass through without interference to reach the detector. Appear blacker on an x-ray

as also Mattia's references show. It's air so it's dark not white. Plus the normal vascular markings (trama vascolare) are not visible."

Exactly, thanks!
In other words, opacity refers to any area that appears white on a chest radiograph when it should be darker. On both CT and chest radiographs, normal lungs appear dark compared to surrounding tissues because air has a relatively lower density

Chest X-ray (Figures 2 and 3): visible rim between the lung margin and chest wall, with an absence of lung markings. The size of the pneumothorax is measured at the level of the hilum: >2cm is classified as a “large” pneumothorax.17
CT chest (Figure 4): may be used to identify small pneumothoraces missed by chest X-ray. Also, can help to identify the cause of the pneumothorax (can show air bulla or emphysematous changes).

The radiographs may be completely unremarkable or may demonstrate an opacity surrounding the intrathoracic portion of the chest tube, representing surrounding hematoma.

Pneumothorax is defined as an air collection inside the pleural space
I'm not sure that a " falda di pneumotorace" is any different from a pneumotorace.
A few Italian authors have it as "pneumothorax air collection", which sounds like a repetition
