Figure 2 Chest computed tomography. A: Chest computed tomography (CT) of a patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with usual interstitial pneumonia pattern; B: A 54-year-old male with non-specific interstitial pneumonia. Chest CT showed faint ground glass opacity and mild reticulations (non-specific interstitial pneumonia); C: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patient in Figure 2A during acute exacerbation showing ground glass opacities requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as bridge to transplant; D: Chest CT of patient in Figure 2B during acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease with areas of ground glass opacity and consolidation.
