Pulmonary patterns can be challenging and confusing. While the nomenclature does not directly translate to the site or cause of disease, pulmonary patterns do offer insights into underlying respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. In this session we will review the imaging features of pulmonary patterns and their utility in generating differential diagnoses.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the various challenges in identifying pulmonary patterns
Indicate the ways in which pulmonary patterns offer insights into underlying respiratory and cardiovascular diseases
Review the imaging features of pulmonary patterns and their utility in generating differential diagnoses
