Hi there, your question sparked me to investigate since I too am a lung cancer survivor, I have seen the term used multiple times on this site but I never knew what it meant either, from what I found.......Consolidation of the lung is simply a solidation of the lung tissue due to accumulation of solid and liquid material in the air spaces that would have normally been filled by gas. It is also known as pulmonary consolidation. the most common cause is pheumonia.
Opacity: couldn't find anything on any specific definition, but I'm sure someone here will have more info and respond. Hope this helps, perhaps your Dr. can explaine it in simpler terms so I wouldnt hesitate asking.
