HRCT
High-resolution CT patterns provide a practical framework for assessing diffuse lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis.
Already have an account?
Description
HRCT protocol and secondary pulmonary lobule anatomy establish a basis for recognising nodular, ground-glass, reticular, consolidative, low-attenuation, cystic, and mosaic patterns. These patterns are then applied to fibrosis, including usual interstitial pneumonia, and to practical differential diagnosis.
Learning Objectives
- Optimise HRCT technique and identify the anatomy of the secondary pulmonary lobule.
- Classify diffuse lung disease using distribution and dominant imaging pattern.
- Recognise fibrotic change and assess features of usual interstitial pneumonia and its differentials.
