Description
Currently, high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lung is the method of choice for diagnostic evaluation of patients suspected of having diffuse lung disease, due to its non invasiveness, fast execution, not requiring contrast agents and high anatomic resolution. The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate the basic findings of lung diseases as seen on HRCT, and list their differential diagnosis. The example are based on 40 selected cases of the Department of Radiology of the School of Medicine of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Sao Paulo, Brazil. (author)
