Tree in bud sign - describes the CT chest appearance of multiple centrilobular nodules that are connected by branching opacified bronchioles. Although initially described in patients with endobronchial tuberculosis, it is now recognised in a large number of conditions ranging from small airways infections like mycobacterium avium complex, to connective tissue diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, to neoplastic conditions like bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma.

Winking owl sign - vertebral metastases are common in oncology patients. A reliable sign of osteolytic spinal metastases on AP radiographs is loss of the normal pedicle contour. The appearance of unilateral pedicle absence has been likened to that of a winking owl with the missing pedicle being the closed eye, the contralateral pedicle being the open eye and the spinous process being the beak. In the above example a metastasis has obliterated the left pedicle at T11. The T12 pedicles are outlined as a reference point.
