CT scan in a patient with usual interstitial pneumonia, showing interstitial thickening, architectural distortion, honeycombing and bronchiectasis.. In radiology, honeycombing or "honeycomb lung" is the radiological appearance seen with widespread pulmonary fibrosis [1] and is defined by the presence of small cystic spaces with irregularly thickened walls composed of fibrous tissue.

More than 41,000 people in the U.S. died of pneumonia in 2022, according to the CDC. ... or a CT scan to pinpoint the type of pneumonia you have, ... Image produced from optical microscopy.
Usual interstitial pneumonia seen on CT scan. Honeycomb fibrosis is seen at the bases of both lungs. UIP may be diagnosed by a radiologist using computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, or by a pathologist using tissue obtained by a lung biopsy.
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.
Low-dose high-resolution (1.25 mm) chest CT. HRCT is performed using a conventional CT scanner. However, imaging parameters are chosen so as to maximize spatial resolution: [1] a narrow slice width is used (usually 1–2 mm), a high spatial resolution image reconstruction algorithm is used, field of view is minimized, so as to minimize the size of each pixel, and other scan factors (e.g. focal ...
CT scan showing cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (biopsy-proven) The reversed halo sign is seen in about 20% of individuals with COP. [18] The chest x-ray is distinctive with features that appear similar to an extensive pneumonia, with both lungs showing widespread white patches.
