The subtypes of localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma: CT-pathologic correlation in 18 cases.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to correlate thin-section CT findings with histologic findings for the three histopathologic subtypes of localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.


CONCLUSIONS
Thin-section CT can be used to predict the histologic subtype of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.
