Figure 5.
Spectrum of computed tomography (CT) appearances in usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern due to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). (A) Coronal CT section obtained at deep inspiration showing honeycombing with traction bronchiolectasis in the peripheral part of the right lower lobe (short arrows) and numerous hyperlucent lobules in the left lower lobe (long arrows). (B) Lobular air trapping was confirmed on expiratory CT. HP-UIP should be considered when fibrosis and honeycomb cysts predominate in the upper or mid lungs, when mosaic attenuation or three-density sign is present, or when the fibrosis appears diffuse in the axial plane.
