A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed widespread regions of low attenuation in the right lung, some appearing sharply demarcated (Figures 1-3). There is diffuse bronchial wall thickening and bronchiectasis in the right lung (Figures 1 and 3) as well as reduction in caliber of the right pulmonary artery compared to the left (Figure 4).
Large demarcated region of low attenuation in the posterior right lung as well as focal area of low attenuation in the left lung (white arrowheads).

A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed widespread regions of low attenuation in the right lung, some appearing sharply demarcated (Figures 1-3). There are areas of low attenuation in the left lung as well (Figure 2).
The mediastinum is shifted to the left with diffuse low attenuation in the right lung representing air-trapping. Bronchiectasis is demonstrated (white arrow).

A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed widespread regions of low attenuation in the right lung, some appearing sharply demarcated (Figures 1-3). The mediastinum is shifted to the left, consistent with air trapping in the right lung (Figure 3). There is diffuse bronchial wall thickening and bronchiectasis in the right lung (Figures 1 and 3) as well as reduction in caliber of the right pulmonary artery compared to the left (Figure 4).
Computed tomography scan images showing the right pulmonary artery compared to the left (white arrows).
