Overview
CT
Thoracic CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of pulmonary edema. Findings on CT scan diagnostic of hydrostatic pulmonary edema include:
- Cardiomegaly
- Vascular engorgement
- Pleural effusions
Findings on CT scan diagnostic of interstitial pulmonary edema include:
- Bronchial wall thickening
- Smooth interlobular septal thickening
- Ground-glass opacity (often with hazy, poorly defined centrilobular nodules)
