CT image showing mosaic attenuation pattern in patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Note the alternating, patchy areas of increased and decreased attenuation, particularly in the left lung (screen right).
The findings on chest imaging in DIPNECH patients are bilateral and diffuse. The most frequent findings on a computed tomography (CT) of the chest are multiple primary nodules and/or masses, on a background of mosaic attenuation and airway wall thickening. [2] [9] The nodules have an indolent pattern of growth and are found throughout the lungs.
Bronchiolitis obliterans results in worsening shortness of breath, wheezing, and a dry cough.The symptoms can start gradually, or severe symptoms can occur suddenly. [9] [10] These symptoms represent an obstructive pattern that is non-reversible with bronchodilator therapy, and need to be related to various lung insults. [11]
The non-fibrotic form is typically characterized by ground glass opacities, mosaic attenuation, ill-defined centrilobular nodules (<5 mm), and air trapping. [12] The fibrotic form is typically characterized by irregular linear opacities/coarse reticulations, traction bronchiectasis , and honeycombing , patchy ground-glass attenuation ...
Subtle reticular pattern; May have mild ground-glass opacity or distortion (“early UIP pattern”) Findings suggestive of another diagnosis, including: [4] Other predominant distribution: Peribronchovascular; Perilymphatic; Upper or mid-lung; Cysts; Marked mosaic pattern; Predominant ground-glass opacity; Profuse lung micronodules
The Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday became the first major national security agency to offer so-called buyouts to its entire workforce, a CIA spokesperson and two other sources familiar ...
Air trapping represents poorly aerated lung, but on its own is clinically benign. It is a common problem for smokers who dive. On diving the lung volume collapses and pushes air into the poorly aerated regions. On arising from a deep depth, these air-trapped areas of lung expand. This places great pressure on the lung tissue which can rupture. [3]
