Fig. 1A Contrast-enhanced CT scans of thorax (360° rotation, no cardiac
gating) in 45-year-old man evaluated for chronic obstructive airways disease.
High-resolution 1-mm-thick axial slices through right upper lobe at level of
tracheal bifurcation obtained at lung parenchymal window settings (window
center: -600 H; window width: 1,600 H). Thickening of septal lines
(arrows) and of peribronchial walls (arrowheads) is
characteristic of interstitial pulmonary edema. In certain situations,
irregular thickening of lymphatic vessels in interstitium can mimic other
diseases such as lymphangitic carcinomatosis or sarcoidosis.
