FIG. 9.

A supine chest CT image from a teenager with systemic sclerosis image shows peripheral opacities at the dependent poster-obasilar lower lobes (A). A CT image acquired after prone repositioning of the patient reveals persistence of these opacities which represent pulmonary involvement by systemic sclerosis rather than just atelectasis (B).
