CT scan
- The high-resolution computed tomographic scan(CT) findings of acute interstitial pneumonitis include:
- Bilateral, patchy, symmetric ground-glass opacities / bilateral airspace consolidation (opacification)
- 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.
