Respiratory Bronchiolitis after World Trade Center Exposure

Imaging findings

Smudgy, centrilobular ground-glass nodules in the upper lobes, mimicking respiratory bronchiolitis (RB).

Key takeaways

Massive particulate inhalation (such as from the 9/11 site) can lead to inhalational lung disease that may radiographically resemble RB even in non-smokers.
