TABLE 3.
Patient | Radiograph | Computed tomography scan |
---|---|---|
1 | Peripheral and basilar coarse reticular markings | Centrilobular and paraseptal emphysema. Peripheral interstitial fibrosis and honeycombing |
2 | Coarse reticular markings, predominantly peripherally. Enlarged cardiac silhouette with prominent pulmonary artery | Low lung volumes. Bibasilar, subpleural reticular changes with traction bronchiectasis. Paraseptal and centrilobular emphysema. Enlarged main pulmonary artery |
3 | Coarse reticular markings, predominantly peripherally | Fibrotic changes throughout both lungs, with a basilar predominance, associated with honeycombing and interseptal thickening. Emphysematous changes |
4 | Lungs hyperinflated. Prominent diffuse bronchovascular markings | Extensive calcified mediastinal lymphadenopathy with perilymphatic pulmonary nodules, in keeping with coal workers pneumoconiosis |
5 | Basilar interstitial markings. Large subpleural bullae, normal lung volumes | Extensive emphysematous changes. Enlarged pulmonary arteries. Honeycomb cysts peripherally and basally |
6 | Peripheral, basilar coarse reticular markings with reduced lung volumes | Peripheral coarse increased interstitial markings. Two large AP window lymph nodes, largest 2.1 cm × 1.0 cm |
7 | Basilar coarse interstitial markings, with large bulla | Hyperinflated lungs. Peripheral and basilar increased interstitial markings with early honeycombing |
8 | Hyperinflated lungs with bullous disease. Enlarged pulmonary artery | Extensive bullous formation. Interstitium with increased densities, especially right base |
9 | Coarsened interstitial markings, peripheral and basilar predominance | Bibasilar fibrotic change with traction bronchiectasis. Centrilobular emphysematous changes |
10 | Hyperinflation, apical fibrosis, left upper lobe nodular disease | Bibasilar fibrosis with honeycombing. Emphysematous changes. Prominent pulmonary vasculature |
