 consolidation is a region of (normally compressible) lung tissue that has filled with liquid,[1]a condition marked by induration[2] (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung. It is considered a radiologic sign. Consolidation occurs through accumulation of inflammatory cellular exudate in the alveoli and adjoining ducts. Simply, it is defined as alveolar space that contains liquid instead of gas.  By....medical wikipidia
