Chronic HP with Air Trapping

Imaging findings

CT chest shows progressive reticular fibrosis and traction bronchiectasis with multiple spared lobules. Expiratory CT demonstrates non-dependent, patchy lobular air trapping, confirming chronic HP.

Key takeaways

Expiratoral air trapping in non-dependent lobules (especially in the mid/upper zones) is a helpful feature to differentiate chronic HP from UIP as fibrosis progresses.
