  • Title: Multidetector spiral high-resolution computed tomography of the lungs: distribution of findings on coronal image reconstructions.
    Author: Johkoh T, Müller NL, Nakamura H.
    Journal: J Thorac Imaging; 2002 Oct; 17(4):291-305. PubMed ID: 12362068.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the distribution of normal findings and various lung diseases on coronal reconstructions as compared with cross-sectional high-resolution CT images. The volumetric CT images were obtained at 120 kVp, 200 mA/rotation, pitch 6:1, and a high-spatial-frequency reconstruction algorithm. The scans were performed using 2.5-mm collimation and reconstructed at 1.25-mm intervals. Coronal reconstructions were obtained at 2.5-mm slice thickness and 2.5-mm intervals. The pictorial includes images of normal anatomy, emphysema, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, sarcoidosis, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary edema, tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and panbronchiolitis.
