Pulmonary sequelae of bronchopulmonary dysplasia survivors: high-resolution CT findings.
OBJECTIVE. We examined the high-resolution CT findings of adult survivors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. CONCLUSION. The cardinal CT features of bronchopulmonary dysplasia survivors include multifocal areas of reduced lung attenuation and perfusion, bronchial wall thickening, and decreased bronchus-to-pulmonary artery diameter ratios.
