HRCT features in a 5-year-old child with follicular bronchiolitis

Pediatr Radiol. 1997 Nov;27(11):877-9. doi: 10.1007/s002470050261.

Abstract

High-resolution CT (HRCT) is the most sensitive radiographic method to image small airways disease. We discuss the HRCT features of follicular bronchiolitis in a 5-year-old boy and correlate them with the histopathological findings. The changes described include centrilobular nodules, bronchiectasis and bronchiolectasis, branching opacities and areas of reduced lung attenuation.
