Fig. 4A —Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex pulmonary
disease in 69-year-old woman. High-resolution CT scans obtained at levels of
right middle lobar bronchus (A) and inferior pulmonary vein (B)
show extensive bronchiectasis, large areas of mosaic perfusion
(arrows), and several small centrilobular nodules and cavitating
nodules (arrowheads) in both lungs. Total CT score was 23 with scores
of bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, cavity, nodules, volume loss, emphysema, and
bullae 6, 7, 4, 1, 1, 2, and 2, respectively. Pulmonary function test results
were as follows: forced vital capacity (FVC), 61%; forced expiratory volume in
1 second (FEV1), 70%; FEV1/FVC, 81%; peak expiratory
flow between 25% and 75% of the forced vital capacity
(FEF25–75%), 56%; total lung capacity (TLC), 91%; and
residual volume (RV)/TLC, 60% of predicted value.
