[The radiologic manifestations of bronchiolitis obliterans]

We reviewed the radiological findings in 19 patients suffering obliterans bronchiolitis, all of whom were classified as idiopathic obliterans bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia. In most cases, above 80%, X-rays showed alveolar opacities in patches; other less frequent findings were the presence of an interstitial pattern and cavitation (10%). Radiological findings are not specific being most useful in posttreatment patient follow-up.
