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...

There are at present no known pulmonary function criteria that allow the clinician to predict the natur...
