Abstract
Drug-induced lung injury (DLI) comprises a wide variety of pathologies, each with a unique imaging pattern, so there are no characteristic imaging findings to establish diagnosis. When DLI is suspected, evaluation must exclude progression of underlying disease, infection, and mimicking diseases. Correct diagnosis requires integration of clinical information and radiologic, laboratory, and pathological findings when available. We describe the radiologic findings of DLI, the roles of the findings in the management of patients with DLI, and the limitations of radiologic diagnosis.Entities:
