Also, it can be present as ipsilateral pleural effusion and atelectasis. The lung volume is usually unchanged, but may be smaller with pulmonary fibrosis. Ground-glass opacities may represent opportunistic infections such as with pneumocystis or cytomegalovirus or chronic interstitial disease. Parasitic infections of the lung occur worldwide among both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients and may affect the respiratory system in a variety of ways.

Silicosis(plural: silicoses) is a fibrotic pneumoconiosis caused by the inhalation of fine particles of crystalline silicon dioxide (silica). Agarwal R, Khan A, Garg M et-al. World J Radiol. 2008;247 (1): 251-9. The disease occurs in two clinical forms that are subdivided by their temporal relationship to the exposure to silica: acute silicosis:manifests as alveolar silicoproteinosis, classic silicosis:manifests as a chronic interstitial reticulonodular disease. In all cases, respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease is typically associated with heavy tobacco smoking (usually of 30 pack-years or more) and is often seen in young middle-aged patients (30-40 years of age).. Clinical presentation.

Prone thin-section imaging through the lung bases is often important to clarify whether dependent opacities at supine imaging represent atelectasis or true abnormality. Amiodarone lung. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, previously known as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, represents a group of immune-mediated pulmonary disorders characterized by an inflammatory and/or fibrotic reaction affecting the lung parenchyma and small airways.. Its diagnosis relies on a constellation of findings: exposure to an offending antigen, characteristic signs and symptoms, Parasitic infections of the lung occur worldwide among both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients and may affect the respiratory system in a variety of ways. Tram-track opacities are seen in cylindrical bronchiectasis, and air-fluid levels may be seen in cystic bronchiectasis. 4.

Airspace or patchy opacities may represent consolidation, atelectasis or mucoid impaction. Consolidation indicates solid or liquid occupying the normally gaseous areas in the lungs and may be due to accumulation of fluid, pus, blood, cells, gastric contents, protein or even fat in the lungs. 2010;254 (3): 957-64. The key differential is the usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP)pattern, with which there can be some overlap in imaging features 3. Chest radiograph may show irregular opacities with a fine reticular pattern. it is important to carefully scrutinise the images, looking for findings such as joint or bony changes, esophageal dilatation, pleural and pericardial effusion, etc., as it has been mentioned that earlier NSIP pattern is also associated with many other conditions. A CT scan may show mosaic attenuation, air trapping, bronchial thickening, bronchiectasis, atelectasis and/or mucoid Low diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D LCO) was associated with bronchial wall thickening and linear opacities. The lung volume is usually unchanged, but may be smaller with pulmonary fibrosis. Mller NL, Franquet T, Lee KS et-al. In acute silicosis particularly, the clinical course is usually progressive and ends in death due to cor pulmonale and respiratory failure therapy with corticosteroids. Fleeting shadows over time can also be a characteristic feature of this disease 14. 9.

Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a histopathologic and radiologic pattern of interstitial lung disease, which is the hallmark pattern for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).. On imaging, usual interstitial pneumonia usually presents with a lung volume loss and an apicobasal gradient of peripheral septal thickening, bronchiectasis, and honeycombing. On a chest radiograph, complicated silicosis is usually indicated by large symmetric bilateral opacities that are: 1 cm or more in diameter and with an irregular margin, commonly in the middle lung zone or peripheral one-third of the lung. Linear opacities indicate an interstitial pattern of lung infection or lung disease. This review provides an update on the presenting symptoms, signs, investigation and management of diseases affecting the lung caused by protozoa, nematodes and trematodes. 10.

Airspace or patchy opacities may represent consolidation, atelectasis or mucoid impaction. AJR Am J Roentgenol. The clinical Nodules less than 2 millimeters in size may indicate miliary tuberculosis, notes Radiopaedia.org. 2003;181 (1): 163-9. [] Rounded lesions measuring more than 3 cm in diameter are termed lung masses and should be considered 10. 2009;16(2):43-8. AJR Am J Roentgenol. The three common patterns seen are patchy or airspace opacities; linear opacities; and nodular or dot opacities. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: an overview. Treatment and prognosis. Linear opacities in middle lobe or lingula can be seen, as a result of subsegmental atelectasis or bronchiectasis with mucosal impactions. Infants who survive neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia often show a slow but continuous improvement in respiratory status. The authors proposed that tree-in-bud opacities suggest airways viral infection. The literature has primarily focused on the diagnosis, clinical-radiological aspects of COVID-19 pneumonia, and the most common possible differential diagnoses. Presentation tends to be in middle age (30-60 years of age) with progressive shortness of breath and chronic cough 4.. What is Described as a Pulmonary Nodule? There is a recognized male predilection (M:F = 2:1). In approximately a third of patients, the presentation may mimic pulmonary infection 6. As is the case with other drug-induced pulmonary toxicity, amiodarone can cause a variety of histopathologic patterns including 6,7: A distinctive feature of amiodarone lung is the presence of foamy histiocytes which contain intracytoplasmic osmiophilic lamellar bodies. However, this feature is also seen in patients with amiodarone exposure and no evidence of toxicity. There is a recognized male predilection (M:F = 2:1). Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the alveoli (air sacs)) of the lungs. Cox CW, Rose CS, Lynch DA. It is thought to have been initially described by Katzenstein and Fiorelli in 1994 14. Atelectasis is an incomplete expansion of the lungs. Radiographic findings on chest x-ray can consist of bilateral consolidation and/or ground-glass opacities, which tend to appear in perihilar regions. 7. Article Google Scholar ICIs act through a unique mechanism of action when compared with those of conventional chemotherapeutic agents. J Comput Assist Tomogr. There may be ill-defined or ground-glass opacities with lower lobe distribution or consolidation in a patchy, reticulonodular or mixed pattern. Mucoid impaction in dilated bronchi can appear mass-like or sausage-shaped or branching opacities (finger in glove sign). Radiographics. Chest radiograph shows multiple nodular opacities: well-defined and uniform in shape and attenuation, predominantly located in the upper lobe and posterior portion of the lung, calcification of nodules is seen on chest radiographs in 10-20% of patients. It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and perilymphatic tissues. Pulmonary collapse may be seen as a consequence of endobronchial mucoid impaction. Silva CI, Colby TV, MLler NL. The authors proposed that tree-in-bud opacities suggest airways viral infection. drugs or organic allergens 12. Additional evidence of asbestos exposure such as calcified or noncalcified pleural plaques may be evident. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) or extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) is a syndrome caused by the repetitive inhalation of antigens from the environment in susceptible or sensitized people. Some patients remain stable for many years whereas other progress to end-stage pulmonary fibrosis rapidly 6-7. Pneumoconiosis: comparison of imaging and pathologic findings.

Possible causative agents include radiation therapy of the chest, exposure to medications used during chemo-therapy, the inhalation of debris (e.g., animal dander), aspiration, herbicides or fluorocarbons and some systemic diseases. small subpleural triangular/linear opacities; Bronchiectatic changes are usually not considered a feature 4. A bilateral pulmonary infiltrative pattern with volume loss of lower lobes may be seen in those with advanced disease. 1994;162 (5): 1063-6. As the fibrosis progresses, a number of more definite findings are seen, which continue to be particularly subpleural and lower lung zone in distribution. Residual middle lobe or lingula atelectasis can also be seen. ICIs target the cell 21 (4): 825-37. Nodular opacities may signify tuberculosis; metastatic or bronchogenic lung tumor; or acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis depending on the size of the nodules. Overall there appears to be an increase in bronchovascular markings, and bronchi seen end-on may appear as ring shadows 8. Residual middle lobe or lingula atelectasis can also be seen. Findings include: In addition, the liver (80% of cases) and sometimes the heart (20%) are high density 6. Mueller-mang C, Grosse C, Schmid K et-al.

Unable to process the form. Ammannagari N, Polu V. 'Cannon ball' pulmonary metastases. The opacities may represent areas of lung infection or tumors. There is, unfortunately, no proven treatment for asbestosis, and although termination of exposure is, of course, essential, it is usually far too late as many years have invariably already elapsed 5-7. Atelectasis. Radiographic findings on chest x-ray can consist of bilateral consolidation and/or ground-glass opacities, which tend to appear in perihilar regions. ; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Karina Zavaleta, MD, Anmol Pitliya, M.B.B.S. 2006;3 (4): 285-92.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the alveoli (air sacs)) of the lungs. Recognition of this sign is useful in localizing areas of airspace opacities, atelectasis or mass within the lung, with the loss of these normal silhouettes on frontal chest radiographs being generally indicative of the site of pathology 3,4:. Check for errors and try again. Opacities seen in a child with acute asthmatic exacerbation but without high fever, chest pain, or leukocytosis are much more likely to be caused by atelectasis than pneumonia.

Radiographic features Plain radiograph. Asbestosis refers to later development of diffuse interstitial fibrosis secondary to asbestos fiber inhalation and should not be confused with other asbestos related diseases. In all cases, respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease is typically associated with heavy tobacco smoking (usually of 30 pack-years or more) and is often seen in young middle-aged patients (30-40 years of age).. Clinical presentation. Although typically seen with right upper lobe collapse, the S-sign can also be seen with the collapse of other lobes.It is created by a central mass obstructing the upper The features which favor the diagnosis of NSIP over UIP are symmetrical bilateral ground-glass opacities with fine reticulations and sparing of the immediate subpleural space. multifocal patchy ground-glass opacities. Lung opacities may gradually resolve over six months without radiological sequelae or with minimal damage . Although typically seen with right upper lobe collapse, the S-sign can also be seen with the collapse of other lobes.It is created by a central mass obstructing the upper In some cases, tissue diagnosis is required to establish the diagnosis, although usually, the combination of appropriate clinical history and radiographic features suffice to guide therapy. 6. arcade-like sign of perilobular fibrosis describes an arch pattern in more than half of the patient with COP 13; ground glass opacity or crazy paving Kim KI, Kim CW, Lee MK et-al. Late radiological findings result from unresolved acute RP. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Post-primary infections are far more likely to cavitate than primary infections and are seen in 20-45% of cases. A 47 year old man sustained a head injury after tripping. Radiology. The typical appearance of post-primary tuberculosis is that of patchy consolidation or poorly defined linear and nodular opacities 1. Cannonball metastases (lungs). It is considered one of the rarest of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias 11.. As a part of international evidence-based guidelines adopted by a collaborative effort of the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the European Respiratory Society (ERS), the Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS), and the Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT), specific diagnostic HRCT criteria for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern were adopted in 2011 and Primer of diagnostic imaging. arcade-like sign of perilobular fibrosis describes an arch pattern in more than half of the patient with COP 13; ground glass opacity or crazy paving ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads, Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys.
