Abstract
The computed tomography (CT) scans and chest radiograph of seven patients with bronchoscopic
or pathologically proven cases of pulmonary hemorrhage were reviewed to determine
the appearance and value of each modality. CT revealed the presence and location in
all cases while chest radiographs were falsely negative in two cases. The CT pattern
was always an alveolar pattern while the pattern was more variable on chest radiographs.
By providing better pattern definition than the chest radiographs, CT is the study
of choice in detecting the presence of a suspected pulmonary hemorrhage.
