4. The thoracic CT shows multifocal, ground-glass opacity associated with linear and reticular opacities creating a “crazy paving” appearance
The thoracic CT shows multifocal, bilateral, ground-glass opacities associated with smooth interlobular septal thickening and fine intralobular opacities. The appearance resembles “crazy paving”- smooth interlobular septal thickening associated with ground-glass opacity and intralobular lines, with a sharp demarcation between normal and abnormal lung. The areas of pulmonary infiltration are not gravitationally dependent, nor do they predominate along the bronchovascular bundles, and the opacities do not predominate in the peripheral aspects of the lung. There is minimal consolidation; the opacities are primarily ground-glass attenuation and are not “dense”; air bronchograms are not conspicuous. The pulmonary opacities are not nodular in appearance.
