High-resolution CT Findings of Diffuse Lung Disease : Review Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: spectrum of high-resolution CT findings.

OBJECTIVE Characteristic high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) include reticulation, architectural distortion, and honeycombing involving mainly the lung periphery and the lower lobes. In 50% of IPF patients, HRCT is nonspecific. This article illustrates the HRCT findings of IPF correlating with the pathology. CONCLUSION The spectrum of HRCT manifestations ...

High-Resolution CT Findings of Re-Expansion Pulmonary Edema

OBJECTIVE To describe the high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings of re-expansion pulmonary edema (REPE) following a thoracentesis for a spontaneous pneumothorax. MATERIALS AND METHODS HRCT scans from 43 patients who developed REPE immediately after a thoracentesis for treatment of pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed. The study group consisted of 41 men and two women with a mean age of 34 y...

Diffuse cystic lung disease at high-resolution CT.

OBJECTIVE This article will illustrate and describe the spectrum of diseases associated with air cysts at high-resolution CT (HRCT). CONCLUSION HRCT is an important modality in the evaluation of interstitial lung disease to include cystic lung disease. Although most commonly associated with lymphangioleiomyomatosis or Langerhans cell histiocytosis, cystic lung disease is increasingly being re...

Radiographic, CT, and High-Resolution CT Findings of Pulmonary Lymphangiectasis: a case report

Pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL) is a rare malformation characterized by dilatation of pulmonary lymphatics. This condition occurs mainly in neonatal and newborn patients. A few cases of PL occur in the young children and adult have been reported. We report another case of a 16-year-old female patient presenting with exertional dyspnea and nonproductive cough. Chest radiography shows bilateral c...
