“…a combination of reticular opacities, traction bronchiectasis and honeycomb cysts, in the absence of prominent ground glass attenuation or consolidation) was not found in any case, although this diagnosis was eventually considered the most likely in the two cases pathologically diagnosed with UIP. None of the cases with a pathological diagnosis of NSIP had CT findings suggestive of UIP; in 10 of 11 cases, CT findings included a combination of ground glass opacities, intralobular reticular opacities, irregular linear opacities, and traction bronchiectasis, compatible with published descriptions of NSIP [8,[15][16][17][18]. CT findings were considered more suggestive of organising pneumonia in the remaining case of NSIP.…”

“…Since those early clinical studies, the reported occurrence of honeycombing on CT imaging in NSIP has been variable, ranging from 0% to 30% (mean, 20%). (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) In contrast, extensive honeycombing is much more commonly a manifestation of UIP. (35) The findings described above for NSIP are not specific.…”

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the radiological imaging technique best suited to revealing changes in lung structure. Various HRCT findings, taken together, can represent typical patterns. These patterns, in conjunction with the anatomical distribution of findings and with clinical data, can narrow the differential diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung disease and, in many cases, indicate the correct diagnosis with a high degree of accuracy. The most common HRCT patterns seen in cases of diffuse interstitial lung diseases are the nodular pattern, linear/reticular opacities, cystic lesions, ground-glass opacities and consolidations. This article reviews the correlations between HRCT patterns and pathologic findings, summarizing the most common causes, as well as detailing the methods of investigation employed in order to diagnose the most common types of chronic diffuse lung disease.Keywords: Lung diseases, interstitial/pathology; Tomography, X-Ray computed; Diagnostic techniques, respiratory system. ResumoA tomografia de alta resolução (TCAR) é a técnica de imagem radiológica que reflete mais de perto as alterações da estrutura pulmonar. Os vários achados tomográficos podem ser combinados para formar padrões típicos. Estes, conjuntamente com a distribuição anatômica dos achados, e com os dados clínicos, podem estreitar o diagnóstico das doenças intersticiais pulmonares difusas, e em vários casos sugerir o diagnóstico correto com alto grau de acurácia. Os padrões mais comuns das doenças intersticiais pulmonares difusas na TCAR são o nodular, linear e reticular, lesões císticas, opacidades em vidro fosco e consolidações. Este artigo revisa as correlações entre os padrões tomográficos na TCAR e os achados patológicos e resume as causas mais comuns e os métodos de investigação para se atingir um diagnóstico nas doenças pulmonares crônicas difusas mais comuns.Descritores: Doenças pulmonares intersticiais/patologia; Tomografia computadorizada por raios X; Técnicas de diagnóstico do sistema respiratório.* Study carried out in the

Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia: Correlation between Thin-Section CT Findings and Pathologic Subgroups in 55 Patients

Abstract: The extent of traction bronchiectasis and intralobular reticulation at thin-section CT correlates with increased fibrosis in NIP. Honeycombing is seen almost exclusively in patients with fibrotic NIP.
