Overview

Most of the patients with acute interstitial pneumonitis on HRCT will show bilateral ground-glass attenuation, traction bronchiectasis, airspace consolidation, architectural distortion.

CT scan

  • The high-resolution computed tomographic scan(CT) findings of acute interstitial pneumonitis include:[1][2]
  • Bilateral, patchy, symmetric ground-glass attenuation
  • Bilateral airspace consolidation
    • These findings can be seen in other diseases and are therefore nonspecific
  • Traction bronchiectasis
  • Septal thickening
  • Honeycombing indicate the presence of underlying fibrotic lung disease.
