the reversed halo sign (rhs) may sometimes be seen in patients with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (cop), but is rarely associated with other diseases. herein, we present a case of a 21-year-old woman with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, with high resolution computed tomography (hrct) finding of rhs. this is an unusual and rare presentation of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

OBJECTIVES High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) can detect the structural abnormalities in asthma. This study attempts to correlate these abnormalities with clinical and pulmonary function test (PFT) data. METHODS Consecutive stable asthma patients attending Mubarak Al Kabeer Hospital, Kuwait, were subjected to HRCT during a six month period from July 2004 to December 2004, after initia...

Skeletal involvement is the second most common site of metastases after lymph nodal metastases in patients with prostate cancer. The skeletal metastases from prostate cancer are osteoblastic in nature and show increased tracer avidity on the bone scan. Focal tracer avid lesion in skeleton especially in skull requires the careful examination by further investigation. The patients with skull meta...

we aimed to evaluate clinical, high resolution computed tomography (hrct) and pulmonary function test (pft) findings after 18-23 years of exposure in veterans of sulphur mustard (sm) exposure. we performed a cross-sectional study of 106 patients. inclusion criteria were 1: documented exposure to sm as confirmed by toxicological analysis of their urine and vesicular fluid after exposure 2: singl...

OBJECTIVE Comparative evaluation of ground-glass opacity using conventional high-resolution computed tomography technique and volumetric computed tomography by 64-row multi-slice scanner, verifying advantage of volumetric acquisition and post-processing technique allowed by 64-row CT scanner. METHODS Thirty-four patients, in which was assessed ground-glass opacity pattern by previous high-res...
