High-resolution CT of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

Abstract

Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma has a wide spectrum of pathologic and radiologic appearances. Some of the radiologic features are characteristic enough to suggest the underlying pathologic changes. This article illustrates the various manifestations of bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma on high-resolution CT (1.5-mm collimation reconstructed with a high-spatial-frequency algorithm). Correlations between the CT and pathologic findings are included.
