Diffuse Infiltrative Lung Disease
In this topic, we will deal with conditions that tend to 1) involve both the lungs diffusely, and 2) primarily produce abnormalities of the pulmonary parenchyma (as opposed to the airways and blood vessels, which are dealt with elsewhere). All diseases may be classified by anatomic, physiologic, and clinical schemes. In pathology, we tend to work from anatomic classifications in understanding t...
متن کاملHrct Findings of Lung Disease
1. linear and reticular opacities; 2. multiple nodules and nodular opacities; 3. parenchymal opacification, including consolidation and ground-glass opacity; 4. air-filled cystic lesions, including lung cysts, cystic lung disease, emphysema, and dilated bronchi (bronchiectasis); and 5. decreased lung attenuation, including mosaic perfusion, mosaic attenuation, and air trapping on expiratory sca...
متن کاملDrug-induced infiltrative lung disease.
An increasing number of drugs are recognized to induce distinctive patterns of infiltrative lung disease (ILD), ranging from benign infiltrates to life-threatening adult respiratory distress syndromes. In addition to drugs, biomolecules such as proteins and cytokines, and medicinal plants are also capable of inducing respiratory disease, some being severe and/or irreversible. For several reason...
متن کاملDiagnostic imaging of diffuse infiltrative disease of the lung.
Plain chest radiography remains the first diagnostic approach to diffuse infiltrative lung disease but has limited diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Many diseases remain occult or are not correctly assessed using chest X-ray, appearing as a nonspecific 'reticulonodular pattern'. High-resolution CT (HRCT) is actually the recommended imaging technique in the diagnosis, assessment, and follo...
متن کاملHRCT diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung disease: inter-observer variation.
BACKGROUND This study was designed to measure inter-observer variation between thoracic radiologists in the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) using high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and to identify areas of difficulty where expertise, in the form of national panels, would be of particular value. METHODS HRCT images of 131 patients with DPLD (from a tertiary referra...
