[CT and HR-CT in the diagnosis of pulmonary complications of bone marrow transplantation].
The aim of this prospective study was to compare conventional and high resolution CT for demonstrating pulmonary complications. 23 patients treated by bone marrow transplantation were included in the study between December 1990 and August 1991. These patients were examined radiologically at regular intervals following the transplants. In 9 patients lung changes were detected by CT: there were pneumonic infiltrates, including one CMV pneumonia, two cases of mild parenchymal fibrosis, two cases of extensive lung fibrosis and one of miliary tuberculosis. The advantages and disadvantages of conventional and high resolution techniques are discussed in relation to our findings.
