Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome Due to Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Causes: CT, Clinical, and Functional Correlations

Abstract

ARDSP tends to be asymmetric, with a mix of consolidation and ground-glass opacification, whereas ARDSEXP has predominantly symmetric ground-glass opacification. In both groups, pleural effusions and air bronchograms are common, and Kerley B lines and pneumatoceles are uncommon.
