CT Thorax at 4th week & 6th week

CT thorax at 4th week, there were a lot of lines or lines of fibrosis seen, and he had

bilateral pleural effusion. The fibrotic changes at the middle region were more
prominent on the right compared to the left. At the bases, it looked horrendous: the

fibrosis (a lot of white lines) and pleural effusion. The traction bronchiectasis was
visible at the bases which showed the degree of the fibrosis and reduction of the
lung volume.

There was no pleural effusion and less white lines (fibrosis) seen at 6th week. At the
middle region, we can see lung resolution of fibrosis, with only minimal

reticulation that can only be appreciated on the CT scan. The bases looked much
better and lung volume was better when compared to the scan from fourth week.
