title: Computed tomography of diffuse lung disease.
abstract: The place of computed tomography (CT) scanning in the detection of pulmonary nodules is now well established. Due to the increasing spatial resolution of CT and shorter scan times, patients with diffuse lung disease can now be examined more effectively. Narrow section CT demonstrates the morphological detail of some diffuse lung diseases at an earlier stage than conventional radiography.
