  • Title: Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis: high-resolution CT and MR findings.
    Author: Hoshino H, Koba H, Inomata S, Kurokawa K, Morita Y, Yoshida K, Akiba H, Abe S.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1998; 22(2):245-8. PubMed ID: 9530388.
    Abstract:
    We report the high-resolution CT (HRCT) and MR findings in a case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. HRCT revealed that the black pleural line on a chest radiograph was caused not by subpleural cysts but by a fat-dense layer between ribs and the calcified parenchyma. MRI showed both lower zones with diffusely increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images. We speculated it was caused by the accumulation of small-sized calcific particles.
