Diseases of trachea and bronchus - bronchiectasis
typing :
CT findings :
HRCT is the most effective method to diagnose bronchiectasis
Cylindrical type: thickened bronchial wall and widened lumen
--Track sign, seal ring sign, finger ring sign
Cystic type: Cystic expansion, grape string
--Characteristic signs: gas-liquid plane, thickening of cyst wall
Varicose type: uneven lumen, irregular wall, beaded
Accompanying bronchiolitis: tree bud sign

plane - Track sign)

Pathological changes
Centered on the lobular bronchi, it extends to the alveoli through
the terminal bronchi,
The lesion range is lobular, scattered on both sides, and can also
be fused.
Bronchial obstruction - lobular emphysema or segmental
atelectasis
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: bronchopneumonia
Compensatory emphysema
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: bronchopneumonia
Lobular distribution
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: bronchopneumonia
Lesions fused
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: interstitial pneumonia
Pathological changes
Involved part-- Mesenchyma around bronchus and blood vessels, alveolar
septum, alveolar wall, interlobular septum, etc., with few or no pulmonary alveoli
involved
Localized lymphangitis and lymphadenitis
Terminal bronchiolitis → Obstruction of lumen → Localized emphysema or
atelectasis
Chronic : Different degrees of connective tissue hyperplasia
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: interstitial pneumonia
X ray findings
Predilection site --Two hilar regions and lower lung
fields,
The apical and bilateral extrapulmonary zones are less
involved
Straight thin strip shadow, reticulate
Small nodules of uniform size and widely distributed
Enlarged hilum of lung (lymphadenitis)
outcome : Absorption and dissipation are slower than
alveolar inflammation
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: interstitial pneumonia
CT findings
Ground glass density shadow can be seen in lung at
early stage (residual gas in alveoli)
Diffuse reticular shadow in both lungs
Interlobular septal thickening and interlobular pleural
thickening
Small shadow or nodular shadow
Enlargement of hilar and paratracheal lymph nodes
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: interstitial pneumonia
X ray findings
Acute phase—Large dense shadows with blurry edges
Thick wall cavity, gas-liquid plane, smooth or uneven wall
Peripheral exudation shadow, which may be accompanied by
pleural thickening or effusion, pyothorax
Chronic phase—Thin wall cavity, clear wall, and surrounding cable
strip shadow
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: lung abscess
A 40-year-old male with a fever of 38-39 degrees, persistent cough and expectoration
CT findings
---- Early detection of necrosis and cavity, and observation of abscess wall
The non necrotic part of the enhanced scan was enhanced to varying
degrees, and the abscess wall was significantly enhanced in a ring shape
Chronic lung abscess with clear cave wall, peripheral cord streak shadow,
bronchiectasis and emphysema
Ipsilateral hilar and/or mediastinal lymph node enlargement
Hematogenous pulmonary abscess : Multiple nodules, patches and
cavities in both lungs
Lung disease - pulmonary inflammation: lung abscess
Comparison
before and after
treatment
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Pathological changes :
1. Exudative lesions - filled with inflammatory cells and exudate in the alveoli
and bronchioles → a little fibrosis remains after absorption
2. Proliferative lesions - early non absorption of exudative lesions →
tuberculous granulation tissue → fibrotic healing
3. Metamorphic lesions - exudative lesions rapidly progressed or fused →
caseous pneumonia → liquefied cavities, bronchial dissemination →
calcification healing
Three types of pathological changes can coexist
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Caseous pneumonia
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Tuberculous cavity
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Fibrous cavity
Around the cavity: calcification, a lot of fiber strands
The lung lobe is deformed, and the hilum of the lung is raised,
showing a weeping willow shape
Compensatory emphysema
Pleural hypertrophy and adhesion
Mediastinum shift to the affected side
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Free effusion
Pleural thickening can be
seen on CT
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Encapsulated effusion
Pulmonary disease - tuberculosis
Middle and late stage: tumor signs and secondary signs of bronchial
obstruction
Signs of metastatic tumor
Pulmonary disease - malignant tumor of lung
Primary pulmonary malignant tumor -- central type of lung cancer -- X ray
In the early stage, there is often no abnormal manifestation, and sometimes
localized emphysema or obstructive pneumonia
Middle late stage
Tumor signs: mass in hilar region (usually fused with hilar lymph nodes)
Bronchial stenosis or obstruction
Special signs: transverse S sign - central lung cancer in the upper lobe of the right lung. When
the upper lobe of the right lung is atelectasis, the upper lobe moves forward and upward due to the
reduced volume of the atelectasis lobe. The line between the lower edge of the upper lobe of the
atelectasis and the lower edge of the hilar mass is in a transverse S shape.
Pulmonary disease - malignant tumor of lung
Left pulmonary hilar mass with Right upper lobe central lung cancer
obstructive inflammation with atelectasis transverse S sign
Pulmonary disease - malignant tumor of lung
• Most of them are nodular goiter, a few are adenoma, and occasionally
adenocarcinoma
• May have symptoms of trachea and esophagus compression
• CT
High density mass of anterior superior mediastinum
Clear boundary, calcification or low-density cystic change can be seen inside
The enhanced examination was obviously enhanced for a long time, and
the adjacent vessels were compressed and displaced
Continuous observation shows that the mass in the mediastinum is
connected with the goiter in the neck, and the density is consistent

CT
• Round mass in the anterior and middle
mediastinum,
• May have lobulation
• Good people have clear boundaries,
• Irregular boundary of malignant person
• There may be arc-shaped or patchy
calcification in the tumor
• Some may have cystic changes
• Moderately uniform reinforcement after
reinforcement

Mediastinal disease -- lymphoma
• Hodgkin disease and non Hodgkin lymphoma are common
• It is more common in men and tends to occur in young adults
• The main clinical manifestations are fever, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes, and tumor
compression
CT :
• Multiple groups of mediastinal lymph nodes were enlarged, and the anterior and middle mediastinum
were the most common
• It can be fused into a block, and the edge is lobulated, compressing and invading the surrounding
blood vessels.
• When the mass is large, there may be necrosis, and the enhancement examination shows mild to
moderate enhancement
• The pericardium and pleura are involved, pleural effusion and pericardial effusion occur, and
pulmonary interstitial infiltration occurs

Mediastinal diseases - neurogenic tumors
CT 、 MR findings :
• The tumors are mostly located in the paravertebral groove, round in shape,
uniform in density, and can be calcified and cystic
• If the lesion invades into the vertebral canal, it will be "dumbbell shaped"
• Most schwannomas contain mucus matrix, and the density is slightly lower than
that of muscle
• Benign patients have smooth edges, enlarged intervertebral foramen, and bone
compression and absorption
• Malignant patients have unclear boundary, uneven density and irregular
destruction of adjacent bone
• Uniform or non-uniform reinforcement
• MR showed long T1 and long T2 signals, which were significantly enhanced
after enhancement
