Focal fibrosis as a cause of localized ground glass attenuation (GGA)--CT and MR findings.
We report a case of focal fibrosis that appeared as localized ground glass attenuation (GGA) on thin-section computed tomography (TSCT). The TSCT and MRI findings correlated well with the pathological results, corresponding to fibrous thickening of the alveolar septa with mild chronic inflammation.
