Overview
CT
Computed tomography can help characterize the distribution of opacities and guide selection of an area of involvement for bronchoalveolar lavage.[1]
Characteristic CT findings of CEP include:
- Ground-glass attenuation
- Consolidation
- Nodules
- Septal thickening
- Pleural effusions
- Thickening of bronchovascular bundles
- The lesions usually involve the peripheral regions of the middle or upper lung zones.
- The radiologic diagnosis of other causes of eosinophilic lung such as drug-induced pulmonary eosinophilia and hypereosinophilic syndrome is rarely possible.
- Common CT findings of ABPA consist of bronchiectasis, mucous plugging, bronchial wall thickening, atelectasis, consolidation, areas of ground-glass attenuation, and upper and central lung predominance.[2]
