Overview
In comparison with chest x-ray, HRCT is a more specific modality for diagnosis of sarcoidosis . Chest CT findings include parenchymal perilymphatic nodules.
CT
Typical HRCT findings that suggest sarcoidosis include parenchymal nodules and opacities that represent conglomerations of these nodules that have a perilymphatic distribution along the bronchovascular bundles as well as in subpleural locations[1][2][3] .
