HRCT findings in OP - Bilateral peripheral consolidations, sharply demarcated. - Consolidations may be migratory. - Lesions may show pleural tags or spiculae and give the impression of volume loss and slight retraction of the surrounding parenchyma (DD bronchogenic carcinoma). - Bronchial wall thickening and dilatation are seen in most patients and are usually restricted to areas of consolidation or ground glass opacifications. - Additional findings are pleural thickening, small pleural effusions and parenchymal bands. On the left a patient with the typical bilateral peripheral consolidations of OP. After exclusion of other diseases such as lymphoma, infection, bronchoalveolar carcinoma, the diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia was made. #Clinical #Radiology #CTChest #COP #Cryptogenic #Organizing #Pneumonia #ILD #RadiologyAssistant
