  • Title: [The x-ray morphological characteristics of the early manifestations of sarcoidosis].
    Author: Khomenko AG, Dmitrieva LI, Khikkel' GG, Gedymin LE.
    Journal: Vestn Rentgenol Radiol; 1990; (3):46-53. PubMed ID: 2251758.
    Abstract:
    The paper is devoted to an analysis of combined x-ray findings supplemented by CT findings in patients with sarcoidosis detected for the first time with early signs of this disease. A conclusion has been made that apart from lymph node enlargement, sarcoidosis is characterized by lung parenchymal changes which manifest themselves as symptoms of broncho-alveolitis. Characteristic x-ray symptom complexes are described. Roentgeno-semiotics of these changes were compared with the results of morphological investigation of transbronchial puncture specimens. Roentgenologically detectable changes showed good correlation with morphology findings. The authors have also emphasized the importance of morphological verification of this disease at early stages.
