Radiological findings in patients with H1N1 influenza pneumonia

Conclusion The predominant radiological pattern in H1N1 pneumonia is bilateral GGO and alveolar consolidation. In the CXR, the opacities were basal and midzonal while in the chest CT were peripheral and peribronchovascular with diffuse zonal involvement. Chest CT is more sensitive than CXR in diagnosing doubtful cases and in showing different patterns of opacities.
