Abstract:
Objective To analyze imaging findings of IPH and to study the correlation between the HRCT findings and the pulmonary function of IPH.Methods The information of 15 children with IPH were reviewed.Results The X-ray findings of IPH included ground glass opacity(n=9),exudative shadows(n=10),reticulonodular shadows(n=7),nodular shadows(n=6).The HRCT signs included abnormal bronchovascular bundles(n=12),ground glass opacity(n=12),exudative shadows ( n=11 ) ,disseminated micronodular shadows ( n=8 ) , thickened pulmonary lobular septa ( n=9 ) . The correlation between ground glass opacity and pulmonary function was 0.5394 ( P=0.134); The correlation between thickened pulmonary lobular septa and the pulmonary function was 0.9963(P=0.0001).Conclusion The HRCT examination is better than the X-ray examination. The positive correlation between thickened pulmonary lobular septa and pulmonary function change is significant,it is beneficial to estimate the damage of the palmonary.
