Overview
High resolution computed tomopraphy (HRCT) of the lung shows thickening of the interlobular septa, bilateral ground-glass opacities and centrilobular nodular opacities. CT scan of the head is also done in patients with neurological deficits.
CT
High resolution computed tomopraphy (HRCT) of the lung:
High resolution computed tomopraphy (HRCT) of the lung reveals the following findings:
- Thickening of the interlobular septa
- Bilateral ground-glass opacities
- Centrilobular nodular opacities
CT scan of the head:
It is performed in the following patients:
- Neurological deficits
- Deterioration of the consciousness
CT head helps rule out other causes of loss of consciousness
Following findings are seen:
- Diffuse white matter petechial hemorrhages
