Development of abnormal fibrous tissue in the lung is the final sequel of a variety of pathologies. Processes that result in parenchymal fibrosis distort normal architecture of the lung. The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To explain imaging signs of lung fibrosis 2. To present imaging of different diseases where the lung may be involved in a fibrotic response and also explain how these processes occur 3. To establish regional distribution at CT of fibrotic process  

1. Definition 2. Imaging signs of fibrotic response of the lung, patterns and distribution 3. Causes of pulmonary fibrous reaction      - Idiophatic disorders      - Congenital conditions      - Iatrogenic      - Post infectious      - Connective tissue disorders      - Inhalation or occupational exposure      - Others 4. Conclusions
