High-resolution chest computed tomography (CT) is one of the most useful techniques available for imaging bronchiolitis because it shows highly specific direct and indirect imaging signs. The distribution and combination of these various signs can further classify bronchiolitis as either cellular/inflammatory or fibrotic/constrictive. Emphysema is characterized by destruction of the airspaces, and a brief discussion of imaging findings of this class of disease is also included. Typical CT findings include destruction of airspace, attenuated vasculatures, and hyperlucent as well as hyperinflated lungs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.
