Abstract
The simultaneous presence of two or more appearance and/or distribution patterns usually complicates the interpretation of the CT features in patients with lung disease. However, there are combinations of patterns that occur more often and hence present as additional patterns with their own differential diagnosis list. In this chapter the most frequently occurring combined patterns will be explained.
