Fig. 2From: Differentiating combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema from pure emphysema: utility of late gadolinium-enhanced MRISeventy-two-year-old woman with progressive breathlessness, FEV1 2.4 L/s, LAV 1.5%. a Axial high-resolution computed tomography showed mild centrilobular emphysema in the upper lobes (arrows). b It was unclear at multidisciplinary conference whether the abnormal regions in the lower lobes (arrows) represented emphysema or fibrosis. c Late gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the upper lobes showed no contrast enhancement, but in d, definite contrast enhancement was observed in the abnormal regions in the lower lobes (arrows) and was consistent with fibrosis.
