Objective:
The purpose of this study was to describe the radiographic and high-resolution CT (HRCT) findings of adenovirus pneumonia in five patients.
Conclusion:
Adenovirus pneumonia in adults appears as bilateral patchy parenchymal opacities on chest radiographs and as bilateral ground-glass opacities with a random distribution with or without consolidation on HRCT images. These findings, however, are not specific for adenovirus pneumonia.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
