Distribution
• Upper, middle, lower lung areas
• Peripheral or central
• Secondary pulmonary lobule
![Page 17: Approach to CT of diffuse lung disease](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ec08e5d9fb349d00ee3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Secondary Pulmonary Lobule
• Fundamental unit of lung structure
marginated by connective tissue septa
(William Snow Miller, 1947)
• Can be seen by HRCT (Thin-section CT)
• Useful for making accurate diagnosis
![Page 18: Approach to CT of diffuse lung disease](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ec08e5d9fb349d00ee3f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pulmonary Acinus
• Smaller than the secondary pulmonary lobule
• Distal to terminal bronchiole
• 6-10 mm in diameter
• 3-24 acini make secondary pulmonary lobule
![Page 19: Approach to CT of diffuse lung disease](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ec08e5d9fb349d00ee3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• The most common interstitial lung disease,
accounting for 20 –25% of diffuse lung
diseases.
• Histologic diagnosis based on presence of
temporal and spatially heterogenous
interstitial fibrosis and inflammation.
![Page 46: Approach to CT of diffuse lung disease](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ec08e5d9fb349d00ee3f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Poor prognosis with median survival less
than 5 years.
• Complications include accelerated
progression, lung cancer and secondary
infection.

• Lymphangitic spread of tumor
• Lymphoproliferative disorders

Centrilobular (tree-in-bud)
• Airway-related
• Most likely infection or inflammation
• I do not know what it is, however, it is
probably benign process!

Centrilobular (tree-in-bud)
• Tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterial
infection have rather discrete nodular
appearance, and are often differentiated
from other etiologies

Ground-Glass Opacity
• GGO implies long list of differential
diagnoses!
• Almost anything occupying either alveoli or
interstitium, or both!

Ground-Class Opacity
• Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
• Diffuse infection such as PCP
• Pulmonary edema
• Aspiration
• Hemorrhage

Categories Not Discussed for Simplification
• Emphysema
• Bronchiectasis
• Small airway disease
• Bilateral multifocal opacities
(infections, tumors, vasculitis,
BOOP/CEP)
![Page 112: Approach to CT of diffuse lung disease](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011807/61d3ec08e5d9fb349d00ee3f/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Cautions!
• This is an approach to HRCT for diffuse
lung disease.
• May be too simplified.
• However, it may help to develop your own
approach.

Every child is an artist. The problem is
how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Bad artists copy.
Good artists steal.
Computers are useless, they can only give
you answers.
