Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 60595
  • Image ID: 39213689
  • Image stack position: 28/68
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: lung window
  • Study description: CT Chest (1 year later)
  • Study findings: Although the right lung demonstrates slightly more prominent bronchi when compared to the last imaging, it has otherwise unremarkable appearances, with no signs of infiltrates or consolidation. The left lung has severely reduced in size and shows diffuse peribronchial infiltrate and also partial atelectasis and consolidative changes in the upper lobe. No pleural effusions. The mediastinal structures are unremarkable, no lymphadenopathy. The imaged superior abdomen shows diffuse hepatic steatosis.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Chest
  • Findings: The right lung and pleural spaces have unremarkable appearances, with no infiltrate, relevant bronchiectasis, or air-trapping. The left lung shows a degree of volume loss associated with irregular subpleural consolidations, band atelectasis, and cylindrical bronchiectasis. On expiratory series, there are the appearances of diffuse left lung air-trapping suggestive of bronchiolitis obilterans syndrome. The mediastinal structures are unremarkable for this protocol. Diffuse hepatic steatosis noted.
