TL;DR: Extensive thin-section CT abnormalities indicative of fibroproliferative changes were independently predictive of poor prognosis in patients with a clinically early stage of ARDS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared high-resolution computed tomography (CT) findings between 10 survivors and 21 nonsurvivors of acute interstitial pneumonia and evaluated whether the CT findings were predictive of patients' response to treatment.

TL;DR: Multicentric Castleman disease is characterized by the presence of systemic symptoms, bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and centrilobular nodular opacities, and the pulmonary parenchymal findings are due to the associated lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis.

TL;DR: Thin-section CT findings reflect the pathologic phases of DAD, although the early exudative phase cannot be specifically depicted by thin- section CT.

TL;DR: An inflammatory (ground-glass/consolidation) predominant pattern is associated with better outcome in terms of disease extent on HRCT, and progression on CT correlates with the predominant CT pattern, fibrosis index, and extent of consolidation but not with histopathological subtype.
