title: Pulmonary vasculitis: the spectrum of radiological findings.
abstract: Pulmonary vasculitis includes various disease entities with a wide range of clinical presentations and overlapping imaging features. Radiological findings of vasculitis in the angiitis-granulomatosis group are nodular and patchy opacities, whereas the principal feature of those diseases causing widespread capillaritis is diffuse air space consolidation. Aneurysms or stenoses of pulmonary arteries are seen in patients with Takayasu arteritis or Behçet's disease.
