An MSCT of the thorax revealed an infiltrate with a formed abscess in the right lung. CT findings raised suspicion of a fungal infection, and the patient was initiated on empirical therapy with voriconazole. Despite the treatment, the patient was still febrile with elevated inflammatory parameter...
Dr. W. Richard Webb, a radiologist, is an expert in computerized tomography (CT) of the thorax, high-resolution lung CT and other imaging for lung cancer. Webb earned an undergraduate degree at Stanford University and a medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco. He was r...

Axial CT scan of a 61-year-old female patient with known scleroderma. The CT scan shows symmetrical, peripheral, extensive ground-glass opacities, with a relative sparing of the subpleural space. The findings are highly suggestive of a non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) ...

In that case, the HRCT findings consisted of predominantly peripheral pulmonary nodules, most of which were cavitated (Figure 4). Cardiogenic edema was identified in 1 patient, who reported using cocaine by inhalation. The HRCT scan of that patient showed ground-glass opacities interspersed...

In 2003 a clinical HRCT scan protocol was developed. It has since been used for evaluation of diffuse lung disease with suspected airway abnormalities. It provides volumetric assessment of the entire thorax at end-inspiration and at end-expiration, and allows for detailed analysis of the airway ...
As per American Thoracic Society guidelines for management of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, TBLB is not required in patients who have findings consistent with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) on HRCT scan thorax. Some Indian researchers have evaluated, on a small number of subjects, the role...
