                    Figure 27-5  •  A, Lateral and ventrodorsal (B) views of the thorax of a ferret that sustained serious chest injuries after a small child tripped
                    and fell on it. The lateral projection is the most informative, revealing an abnormally dense, smaller than normal caudal lobe with an
                    exceptionally clear border. This appearance is indicative of a ruptured lung lobe with a secondary pneumothorax.
