Abstract

Noninfectious inflammatory lung diseases represent a spectrum of idiopathic and secondary conditions that may involve the airspaces, vasculature, or interstitium. The most important clinical and pathologic characteristics are reviewed, emphasizing CT findings and potential clues to differential diagnosis. Noninfectious inflammatory lung diseases translate into various CT appearances that are important in making the correct diagnosis.
