Abstract
The use of computed tomography in the study of lung diseases is well established. Many reports have indeed emphasised its role not only in the detection and diagnosis but also in the quantification and follow-up of both focal and diffuse lung diseases. Moreover, CT has helped to better understand the clinical and pathological course of some diseases, while some CT classifications are used now to categorise disease.
