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.
Constrictive bronchiolitis, [2] Obliterative bronchiolitis, Popcorn lung: High resolution CT scan showing bronchiolitis obliterans with mosaic attenuation, bronchiectasis, air trapping and bronchial thickening [3] Specialty: Pulmonology Symptoms: Dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, feeling tired [1] Usual onset: Worsens over weeks to ...
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.
The two differ in terms of their diagnostic work up and management although there is overall between them. The non-fibrotic form is typically characterized by ground glass opacities, mosaic attenuation, ill-defined centrilobular nodules (<5 mm), and air trapping. [12]
Where present it is a strong diagnostic factor of ABPA and distinguishes symptoms from other causes of bronchiectasis. [11] CT scans may more rarely reveal mosaic-appearance attenuation, centrilobular lung nodules, tree-in-bud opacities, and pleuropulmonary fibrosis (a finding consistent with CPA, a disease with ABPA as a known precursor).

Jennifer Lopes was one of the many, many, mannnny celebrities to show up at the 15th annual Governors Awards last night, and truly turned it out for the red carpet.
The most important factor for treating DAD or ARDS is to treat the underlying cause of the injury to the lungs, [9] for example pneumonia or sepsis. These patients will have problems with oxygenation, meaning they will likely need a breathing tube , medications to keep them comfortable (sedative, paralytic, and/or analgesic), and a mechanical ...
Cooler-than-average water temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean are still expected to reach the criteria for a weak La Niña by the end of January, according to an updated outlook released ...
