RESUMO
A tomografia de alta resolução (TCAR) é a técnica de imagem radiológica que reflete mais de perto as alterações da estrutura pulmonar. Os vários achados tomográficos podem ser combinados para formar padrões típicos. Estes, conjuntamente com a distribuição anatômica dos achados, e com os dados clínicos, podem estreitar o diagnóstico das doenças intersticiais pulmonares difusas, e em vários casos sugerir o diagnóstico correto com alto grau de acurácia. Os padrões mais comuns das doenças intersticiais pulmonares difusas na TCAR são o nodular, linear e reticular, lesões císticas, opacidades em vidro fosco e consolidações. Este artigo revisa as correlações entre os padrões tomográficos na TCAR e os achados patológicos e resume as causas mais comuns e os métodos de investigação para se atingir um diagnóstico nas doenças pulmonares crônicas difusas mais comuns.
ABSTRACT
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the radiological imaging technique best suited to revealing changes in lung structure. Various HRCT findings, taken together, can represent typical patterns. These patterns, in conjunction with the anatomical distribution of findings and with clinical data, can narrow the differential diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung disease and, in many cases, indicate the correct diagnosis with a high degree of accuracy. The most common HRCT patterns seen in cases of diffuse interstitial lung diseases are the nodular pattern, linear/reticular opacities, cystic lesions, ground-glass opacities and consolidations. This article reviews the correlations between HRCT patterns and pathologic findings, summarizing the most common causes, as well as detailing the methods of investigation employed in order to diagnose the most common types of chronic diffuse lung disease.
