Figure 2. (A) High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lungs, axial plane. Paraseptal emphysema (red arrows) with interlobular septal thickening (blue arrows) predominantly in the upper lobes. (B) HRCT, axial plane. Areas of ground-glass opacities and lung fibrosis with reticulation (yellow arrows) and bronchiectasis (green arrows) predominantly in the middle and lower parts of both lungs. (C) HRCT, coronal reconstruction paraseptal emphysema (red arrow) with interlobular septal thickening (blue arrow) predominantly in the upper lobes. Areas of ground-glass opacities and lung fibrosis with reticulation (yellow arrow) and bronchiectasis (green arrow) predominantly in the middle and lower parts of both lungs. No mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathies are observed.
