Cocaine-induced pulmonary changes: HRCT findings *
OBJECTIVE To evaluate HRCT scans of the chest in 22 patients with cocaine-induced pulmonary disease. METHODS We included patients between 19 and 52 years of age. The HRCT scans were evaluated by two radiologists independently, discordant results being resolved by consensus. The inclusion criterion was an HRCT scan showing abnormalities that were temporally related to cocaine use, with no othe...
متن کاملHRCT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis; relation to pulmonary function tests
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Chest-X-ray has several limitations in detecting the extent of pulmonary disease in sarcoidosis. It might not reflect the degree of pulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis when compared to computed tomography of the thorax. We aimed to investigate the HRCT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis and to find out the existence of possible relations between HRCT findi...
متن کاملPneumoconiosis in dental technicians: HRCT and pulmonary function findings.
BACKGROUND Pneumoconiosis is a form of diffuse interstitial lung disease, often resulting from occupational exposures. As dental prosthetic technicians (DPTs) build prostheses, they are exposed to many chemical materials that increase their risk of developing pneumoconiosis. AIMS To document pulmonary function and prevalence of pneumoconiosis in DPTs. METHODS A cross-sectional study of DPTs...

متن کاملOrganizing pneumonia: chest HRCT findings*
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of HRCT findings and their distribution in the lung parenchyma of patients with organizing pneumonia. METHODS This was a retrospective review of the HRCT scans of 36 adult patients (26 females and 10 males) with biopsy-proven organizing pneumonia. The patients were between 19 and 82 years of age (mean age, 56.2 years). The HRCT images were evaluated by two...
