Extensive acute lung injury following limited thoracic irradiation: Radiologic findings in three patients

The aim of our study was to describe the radiologic findings of extensive a cute lung injury associated with limited thoracic irradiation. Limited thor acic irradiation occasionally results in acute lung injury. In this conditi on, chest radiograph shows diffuse ground-glass appearance in both lungs an d thin-section CT scans show diffuse bilateral ground-glass attenuation wit h traction bronchiectasis, interlobular septal thickening and intralobular smooth linear opacities.
