Overview

In MCTD, the tomographic images may show radiographic abnormalities related to interstitial lung disease and the presence of esophageal dilatation. Chest CT scan findings include ground glass opacities, irregularity of the interfaces between the peripheral pleura and aerated lung parenchyma, septal and nonseptal lines, intralobular reticular opacities, bronchiolectasis or traction bronchiectasis, areas of cystic spaces (honeycombing), areas of decreased attenuation and air trapping on expiratory computed tomography.
