Abstract:
Objective To study the CT findings in diagnosis of pulmonary mycosis and to improve its radiological diagnosis.Methods The CT findings of 32 cases of pulmonary mycosis were retrospectively analyzed,9 cases were confirmed by sur-gical pathology,13 cases were confirmed by sputum cultures,4 cases were confirmed by percutaneous needle lung biopsy,5 cases were confirmed by fibrobronchoscopy and brush biopsy,1 cases was confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid cultures.All of them were performed GE Light Speed 16 CT scan and reconstruction.Results Focus distribution: 10 cases in left lung,14 cases in right lung,11 cases in bilateral lung.Most of lesions are multiple,and they often can be found in inferior of bilateral lung.14 cases are solitary / multifocal mass or nodule(44%),9 cases are solitary or multiple patchy foci(28.4%),7 cases are patchy foci mixed with nodules(27.6%).Conclusion Pulmonary mycosis with characteristic mani-festation can be correctly diagnosed by CT scan.
