The Importance of Imaging in Lung Disease

Mary Beth, are you starting with a high-res CT in these folks? What sort of imaging after the first chest sex ray. Once they're symptomatic, let's say they're not going to be able to see you for six weeks and where the primary, we want to get some imaging cooking. What might we order? Mary Beth: Yeah, I appreciate that question. And I do think the high resolution CT scan is that workhorse of any interstitial lung disease and sarcoidosis included. But oftentimes the prankomal disease or the nodules that you might see that are classic for sarcoid may only show up on a highresolution CT scan.
