The tree-in-bud (TIB) pattern on CT scans is primarily linked to pulmonary infections affecting large airways. This finding was observed in 17.6% of acute bronchitis or pneumonia cases and 25.6% of bronchiectasis cases.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Thoracic Imaging

Background:

  • The tree-in-bud (TIB) pattern on CT scans represents a specific finding in small airway diseases.
  • Understanding the differential diagnosis of the TIB pattern is crucial for accurate patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe airway diseases associated with the tree-in-bud (TIB) pattern on CT scans.
  • To establish a differential diagnosis for the TIB CT scan finding.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective collection of CT cases exhibiting the TIB pattern.
  • Review of CT scans from patients with a history of small airway disease.
  • High-resolution CT scans performed at 1 to 3 mm collimation.

Main Results:

  • The TIB pattern was associated with bronchiectasis or proximal airway wall thickening in 26 of 27 cases.
  • The TIB pattern was identified in 25.6% of CT scans with bronchiectasis.
  • The TIB pattern was present in 17.6% of CT scans with acute infectious bronchitis or pneumonia.
  • No patients with emphysema, bronchiolitis obliterans, organizing pneumonia, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, or respiratory bronchiolitis showed the TIB pattern.

Conclusions:

  • The TIB pattern on CT scans is predominantly associated with pulmonary infections involving the large airways.
  • The TIB pattern is a significant indicator in cases of acute bronchitis, pneumonia, and bronchiectasis.
