1) HRCT shows reticular pattern involving subpleural areas of the superior segment of lower lobes with some interlobular septal thickening, suggestive of usual interstitial pneumonia.
2) There is also a reticular pattern with tractional bronchiectasis and subpleural sparing with surrounding areas of fibrosis, consistent with fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia.
3) Small multifocal areas show the "atoll sign" with central ground glass opacity and thick-walled cysts, seen in conditions like bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, especially in an immune compromised patient.

Role of hrct in interstitial lung diseases pk uploadDr pradeep Kumar
Role of hrct in interstitial lung diseases pk , This is best powerpoint slides presentation including Latest American thoracic society and fleishners society guidelines . this includes radiographic images a well HRCT chest findings of various ILD. This will help alot for md pg radiology resident and radiologist. Thanks
Describes the basic radiology of diffuse interstitial disease ,with differential diagnosis of reticular interstitial pattern and how to approach HRCT findings .
An approach to HRCT assesment and diffrential diagnosis of multiple nodular opacities is based on the consideration of their size, appearance, attenuation and distribution.
A consideration of nodule size can be important in differential diagnosis, although it is not always of value. For example, the nodules seen in patients with miliary tuberculosis are usually quite small, and uncommonly exceed 5 mm. On the other hand, nodules in patients with hematogenous metastases are often larger than this.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. HRCT Basic protocol
• High resolution CT is a
scanning protocol in which thin
sections (usually 0.625 to 1.25
mm) are acquired and
reconstructed using a sharp
algorithm (e.g. bone
algorithm).
4. DIFFERENT PATTERNS IN HRCT
CHEST
• Secondary lobule
• Reticular pattern
Septal thickening
Honeycombing
• Nodular pattern
Algorithm for nodular pattern
Perilymphatic distribution
Centrilobular distribution
Tree-in-bud
Random distribution
• High Attenuation pattern
Ground-glass opacity
Mosaic attenuation
Crazy Paving
Consolidation
• Low Attenuation pattern
Emphysema
Cystic lung disease
Honeycombing
• Distribution within the lung
• Additional findings
• Differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases
5. Air-Space Nodule
A small, nodular opacity, usually ranging from
a few mm to 1 cm in diameter, that can be
seen in patients who have air-space diseases.
It represents a focal area of peribronchiolar
inflammation or air-space consolidation
Atelectasis
A reduction in lung volume either localized or
involving an entire lung, and often associated
with an increase in lung opacity or attenuation.
It may occur because of resorption of gas,
lung compression, deficiency of surfactant, or
fibrosis. Synonyms: collapse, volume loss
Bulla
A sharply demarcated area of emphysema,
measuring 1 cm or more in diameter and
possessing a wall less than 1 mm in thickness
IMPORTANT PATTERNS
6. Conglomerate Mass
A large opacity that often surrounds and encompasses
bronchi and vessels. It often represents a mass of fibrous
tissue or confluent nodules. It is most common in silicosis,
coal worker’s pneumoconiosis, and sarcoidosis
Cyst
A nonspecific term describing the presence of a thin- walled
(usually less than 3-mm thick), well-defined and
circumscribed, air- or fluid-containing lesion, 1 cm or more in
diameter that has an epithelial or fibrous wall
Dependent Opacity
An ill-defined subpleural opacity, ranging from a few mil-
limeters to 1 cm or more in thickness, that is only visible in
dependent lung regions and disappears when the lung region
is nondependent
Halo Sign
A halo of ground-glass opacity surrounding a nodule or mass.
It is nonspecific. It may be seen in patients who have invasive
aspergillosis (representing hemorrhage), other infections,
neoplasms
7. Headcheese Sign
A type of mosaic attenuation manifested by a
combination of patchy ground-glass opacity and
reduced lung attenuation as a result of mosaic
perfusion or air trapping. This pattern resembles the
heterogeneous appearance of a sausage
Peribronchovascular Interstitial Thickening
Thickening of the peribronchovascular interstitium that
surrounds the perihilar bronchi and vessels
This is recognizable by an apparent thickening of the
bronchial wall and an apparent increase in size or
nodular appearance of the pulmonary arteries
Subpleural Line
A thin, curvilinear opacity a few millimeters or less in
thickness, usually less than 1 cm from the pleural
surface and paralleling the pleura. This is a non-
specific term that may be used to describe dependent
opacity (a normal finding)
8. SECONDARY LOBULES
• Basic anatomical unit
• The interpretation of interstitial lung
diseases is based on the type of
involvement of the secondary lobule.
• Smallest lung unit that is surrounded
by connective tissue septa
• Secondary lobule is supplied by a
small bronchiole or terminal
bronchiole in the centre, which is
paralleled by the centrilobular artery
• The pulmonary veins and lymphatics
run in the periphery of the lobule
within the interlobular septa
Normal conditions only
a few of these
very thin septa
can be seen
9. AREAS OF LOBULE
Centrilobular area is the
central part of the secondary
lobule. Site of diseases, that
enter the lung through the
airways ( i.e.
hypersensitivity
pneumonitis, respiratory
bronchiolitis, centrilobular
emphysema ) [ Red arrow]
Perilymphatic area is the
peripheral part of
the secondary lobule.
It is usually the site of diseases, that
are
located in the lymphatics of in the
interlobular septa ( i.e. sarcoid,
lymphangitic carcinomatosis,
pulmonary edema) [Green arrow]
10. Reticular pattern
• Reticular pattern there are
too many lines, either as a
result of thickening of the
interlobular septa or as a
result of fibrosis as in
honeycombing.
CAN BE TWO TYPES
1) SEPTAL THICKENING
2) HONEY COMBING
Retico nodular
pattern , with
bilateral PE (R>L) ,
Honey combing
11. SEPTAL
THICKENING
Thickening of the lung
interstitium by fluid, fibrous
tissue, or infiltration by cells
results in a pattern of reticular
opacities due to thickening of
the interlobular septa.
SMOOTH
NODULAR
Ignore IST unless its prominent
Think of IPE
Pulmonary edema
Fibrosis
Lymphatic spread of neoplasm
12. HONEY COMBING
Because of the cystic appearance,
honeycombing is also discussed in the
chapter on the low attenuation pattern
Honeycombing is defined by the
presence of small cystic spaces lined by
bronchiolar epithelium with thickened
walls composed of dense fibrous tissue
DD: Usual interstitial
pneumonia (UIP) , Idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis , Silicosis
, RA , scleroderma , chronic
hypersensitivity pneumonitis
SUB PLEURAL
FIBROUS WALL
13. UIP
• AKA Idiopathic IP
• Usually a reactive a pertaining
to a previous insult
• Several patterns
• Inflammation and fibrosis
• Variable response to Rx
• Causes —- Idiopathic , drugs ,
Inhalation
14. NODULAR PATTERN
In most cases small nodules can be placed into one of three categories:
Perilymphatic, centrilobular or random distribution
15. SUMMARY
1) Look for pleural nodules
2) Look for central broncho
vascular interstitium
and interlobular septa
16. PERI LYMPHATIC NODULE
• Most commonly seen in
sarcoidosis
• Other diseases - Silicosis , Coal
workers Pneumoconiosis ,
Lymphatic spread of Ca
• Overlap of DD with reticular
pattern
• Thus this pattern can be called
“RETINO-NODULAR”
17. CENTRI LOBULAR
NODULES DISTRIBUTION
• CENTRO LOBULAR
distribution is usually seen in
disease that go through airway
• DD - Hypersensitivity
pneumonitis , respiratory
bronchiolitis , Infectious airway
disease , vasculitis
• Othername - ACINAR
NODULES
18. TREE IN BUD
APPEARENCE
• Usually centre lobular nodules
, multiple , branching ,
produces this pattern
• Occurs in disease that spread
through airway
19. RANDOM NODULES
SMALL RANDOM NODULES
ARE SEEN IN
Hematogenous metastasis
Miliary tuberculosis
Miliary fungal infection
LCH
20. HIGH ATTENUATION
PATTERN
• AKA Ground glass opacity if
there is a hazy increase in
opacity without obscuring
underlying vessels
• In both GGO ( does not have
AB , vessels visible in GGO
)and Consolidation ( Has AB,
vessels not visible) ,
IN SOME CASES
THERE IS BOTH
22. MOSAIC PATTERN
• Used to describe density
differences between affected
and non affected areas , there
is patchy black and white lung
• GGO VS MOSAIC
CONCEPT
More blood supply more opacity/density
Less blood supply more translucency
Translucent areas are abnormal and areas
showing GGO have higher blood perfusion
CAUSES
Obstructive small airway disease
Occlusive vascular disease
Parenchymal disease
24. LOW ATTENUATION
PATTERNS
• Emphysema
• Lung cysts
• Bronchiectasis
• Honey combing
Relatively easy to differentiate in HRCT has their
patterns are quite distinct
25. CENTRI LOBULAR

• Lung cysts are defined as
radiolucent areas with a wall
thickness of less than 4mm
• WALLS PRESENT
CYST VS CAVITY
Wall thickness less than
4mm in cystic lesions
And wall thickness more
than 4mm in a cavity
