High-resolution computed tomography and histopathological findings in hypersensitivity pneumonitis: a pictorial essay*
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a diffuse interstitial and granulomatous lung disease caused by the inhalation of any one of a number of antigens. The objective of this study was to illustrate the spectrum of abnormalities in high-resolution computed tomography and histopathological findings related to hypersensitivity pneumonitis. We retrospectively evaluated patients who had been diagnosed wi...
متن کاملHigh-resolution computed tomography findings in hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
The hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an acute, rapidly progressive disease transmitted by rodent excreta, with endothelial damage playing a central role in the pathophysiology. It usually affects rural workers. The lung itself is the target organ and reflects all the patterns of endothelial involvement of this disease. The radiologic findings of HPS are vast and range from a mild intersti...
متن کاملChest High Resolution Computed Tomography Findings in Connective Tissue Diseases
BACKGROUND Lung disorders are important for prognosis of connective tissue disease (CTD). Thus, chest radiography, High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) of the chest and ultrasonic echocardiogram are suggested after the diagnosis of these conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate chest HRCT findings in patients with CTD. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descriptive cross-section...
