title: [High-resolution computerized tomography in interstitial lung diseases: experiences with over 100 patients].
abstract: The report covers experience made with high-resolution computerized tomography in examining more than 100 patients with interstitial lung disease. Small bullous lesions, tiny linear bands in fibrosis and thickening of the bronchovascular bundle can easily be demonstrated by this method. Another advantage is the early detection of ground glass opacities. Although no truly pathognomonic patterns exist, this technique significantly reduces the spectrum of differential diagnosis, especially due to its ability to detect the anatomical relationship between pathological changes and substructures of the lung.
