Overview
Chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Löffler syndrome. Findings on CT scan suggestive of Löffler syndrome include areas of ground-glass opacity (halo) around consolidation, nodules, and dilated airways within the lesion.
CT scan
Chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Löffler syndrome. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of Löffler syndrome include:[1][2][1][3] [4][5][6][7][8]
- Areas of ground-glass opacity (halo) around consolidation
- Nodules
- Dilated airways within the lesion.
