High-resolution CT image showing ground-glass opacities in the periphery of both lungs in a patient with COVID-19 (red arrows). The adjacent normal lung tissue with lower attenuation appears as darker areas. Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a finding seen on chest x-ray (radiograph) or computed tomography (CT) imaging of the lungs.
The halo sign is also understood as a region of ground-glass attenuation surrounding a pulmonary nodule on an X-ray computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest. It can be associated with hemorrhagic nodules , tumors , or inflammatory processes, but is most commonly known as an early radiographic sign of invasive pulmonary infection by the fungus ...
ground glass; consolidation (diffuse opacity with air bronchograms) location (where is the lesion worst?) upper (e.g., sarcoid, tuberculosis, silicosis/pneumoconiosis, ankylosing spondylitis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis) lower (e.g., cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, connective tissue disease, asbestosis, drug reactions)
Sagittal reformat from a CT scan of the chest showing air crescent sign in a patient with invasive fungal infection. There is a rounded cavity in the apical right upper lobe, with a non-dependant soft-tissue nodule within it. Also there is some subtle ground-glass opacity surrounding the lesion.
nodule Ground glass opacity: No routine follow-up: CT after 6–12 months to check if persistent, then after 2 years and then another 2 years Part solid No routine follow-up: CT after 6–12 months: If unchanged and solid component remains <6mm: Annual CT for 5 years. Solid component ≥6mm: highly suspicious; Multiple nodules CT after 3–6 ...
Clinical tests include chest radiography or (HRCT) which may show centrilobular nodular and ground-glass opacities with air-trapping in the middle and upper lobes of the lungs. Fibrosis may also be evident. Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) findings coinciding with pneumonitis typically include a lymphocytosis with a low CD4:CD8 ratio. [7] [13]
These days, we don’t have to rely on traditional razors for at-home hair removal — but we still resort to them as they’re convenient. In doing so, we ignore the laundry list of disadvantages.
There may be superimposed CT features such as mild ground-glass opacity, reticular pattern and pulmonary ossification. Probable UIP pattern: [4] Predominantly subpleural and basal; Often heterogenous distribution; Reticular pattern with peripheral traction bronchiectasis or bronchiolectasis; There may be mild ground-glass opacity; Indeterminate ...
