Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex infection - untreated - first-time detected
This is a transverse CT image of an 81-year-old smoker male. It shows a fibrocavitary pattern in the right middle lobe (medial bronchopulmonary segment—S5). Noticeable are centrilobular nodules in a "tree in the bud" in the right upper lobe, nodules in both upper lobes, bronchiectasis, and bronchial wall thickening. The Mycobacterium avium complex was isolated. A 64-slice CT scanner was used, with the thickness parameter set to 0.5 mm.
