Objective To evaluate the helical CT features of miliary tuberculosis and pulmonary miliary metastatic nodules so thatimproving the correct diagnosis of the miliary lung diseases.Methods Helical CT or high resolution CT features (distribution and size of miliary nodule and attenuation of the lung) of 34 patients with miliary tuberculosis and 54 patients with pulmonary miliary metastatic nodules were retrospectively reviewed.Results The uniformly distribution and size of the bilateral lung were observed in 28 (28/34, 82%) and 23 (23/34, 68%) cases of miliary tuberculosis,5(5/54, 9%) and15(15/54, 28%)cases of pulmonary metastases ( P
