The predominant finding is ground glass opacity (GGO).
There is very subtle traction bronchiectasis, indicating that the GGO is the result of fibrosis and therefore irreversible.
It is important to note that we do not see the classic distribution of UIP, from which NSIP has to be differentiated.
The history of this patient is suggestive for the diagnosis dermatomyositis.
NSIP is by far the most common interstitial lung disease in patients with connective tissue disease. #Clinical #Radiology #CTChest #NSIP #NonspecificInterstitialPneumonia #ILD #RadiologyAssistant
