ABSTRACT
Interstitial pneumonias comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders in which a multidisciplinary approach is important for accuracy in diagnosis; indeed, one might say, even mandatory. The team of collaborators should include radiologists, because high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax is the first, and most of times, the only imaging examination to be prescribed after chest X-ray. Elementary lesions of the interstitium can be accurately described with HRCT, inasmuch as lung windowing with sharp filtering in this technique reproduces the microscopic features of the lung. Guidance of bronchoalveolar lavage and biopsy procedures is also possible with HRCT.
