Abstract
Drug-induced lung disease is an increasingly common cause of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis is based on clinical history and consistent radiologic findings. Lung biopsy is performed in a small percentage of cases. High-resolution CT may demonstrate parenchymal abnormalities in patients with normal radiographs and provides a better depiction of the pattern and distribution of findings. Knowledge of the most common high-resolution CT manifestations and the corresponding histologic patterns is important for early recognition and proper management of drug-induced lung disease.
