High-resolution CT scans of the chest demonstrate a symmetrical pattern of bibasilar, peripheral, and subpleural intralobular septal thickening, fibrotic changes, honeycombing, and traction bronchiectasis and bronchiolectasis.  There may be associated ground glass opacity of the lungs but these changes are relatively minor in comparison with the fibrotic changes.<ref>{{cite book |last=Webb |first=W.
