Findings

There is a diffuse bronchial pattern and bronchiectasis demonstrated by poorly tapering airways. There is increased soft tissue opacity dorsal to the carina, as well as a patchy alveolar pattern in the left cranial, left caudal and right caudal lung lobes. The cardiovascular structures are within normal limits.

DDx

Severe bronchial pattern and bronchiectasis with patchy alveolar pattern. This is suggestive of chronic lower airway disease (infectious, inflammatory). The patchy alveolar pattern may be caused by extension inflammatory disease, or mucus plugging with underlying pneumonia
