Figure 1 In this HRCT of a patient with hydrostatic pulmonary edema, the interlobular septa are thickened by fluid (arrows), outlining the secondary pulmonary lobules. Abbreviation: HRCT, high-resolution computed tomography. compared with CXR (5). In one study, the accuracy of HRCT was reviewed in 129 patients with a variety of interstitial pneumonias; the positive predictive value was 79% for HRCT diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), 71% for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), 65% for acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), 63% for desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), but only 9% for nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) (6).
