“…Compared to the chest roentgenogram, an HRCT scan is a more sensitive method for detecting parenchymal lesions. In some studies, 27-46% of patients without parenchymal lesions by chest roentgenogram have been found to have parenchymal lesion with HRCT [34,35]. However, the ILO classification is still widely used for the evaluation of lung parenchyma.…”

“…Na nossa amostra não ocorreu diferença na frequência do tabagismo, assim como da carga tabágica, sugerindo que a fibrose do parênquima pulmonar poderia ser o fator mais importante para o comprometimento funcional. Em alguns estudos (Antao et al, 2005;Bégin et al, 1995;Gevenois et al, 1998;Kinsella et al, 1990;Ooi et al, 2003;Yankelevitz et al, 2000), a profusão nodular, coalescências e grandes opacidades também apresentaram associação com a deterioração pulmonar, enquanto que em outros tal correlação não foi observada (Arakawa et al, 2005;Bauer et al, 2007;Bergin et al, 1986;Falaschi et al, 1995;Meijer et al, 2011;Ng et al, 1987;Talini et al, 1995).…”
