Abstract
The introduction of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has revolutionized the radiologic approach to patients with suspected diffuse infiltrative lung disease (DILD). The requirements for performing HRCT include a current technology scanner, thin slices (1-2 mm), and reconstruction using a high spatial frequency algorithm. The scans are performed during breath holding at end-inspiration, and images are reconstructed using a matrix of 512 pixels with a 35-40 cm field of view.When necessary, a smaller field of view (12-24 cm) is used to further improve spatial resolution and expiratory scans may be indicated in order to identify air trapping. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
