Basic Interpretation
A structured approach to interpretation of HRCT involves the following questions:
What is the dominant HR-pattern:
reticular
nodular
high attenuation (ground-glass, consolidation)
low attenuation (emphysema, cystic)
Where is it located within the secondary lobule (centrilobular, perilymphatic or random)
Is there an upper versus lower zone or a central versus peripheral predominance
Are there additional findings (pleural fluid, lymphadenopathy, traction bronchiectasis) #Diagnosis #Radiology #Pulmonary #HRCT #CTChest #Interpretation #Algorithm #ILD #RadiologyAssistant
