Overview
On chest CT scan, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by honeycomb appearance of the lungs, bronchiectasis, ground glass opacities, and distortion of the lung opacities.
CT scan
- High resolution CT scan of the lung is recommended for diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.[1]
- On chest CT scan, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by the following features:
- Honeycomb appearance of the lungs which are cystic air spaces of different sizes. The cysts are mostly located in the sub-pleural area.
- Traction bronchiectasis
- Lung architectural distortion
- Ground glass opacities
- Interlobular septal thickening
