Representative images of computed tomography (CT) scans in patients with small airways disease. a) An inspiratory CT scan in a patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis showing mosaic pattern of attenuation. b) Expiratory CT scan in the same patient showing air trapping that is characteristic of small airways disease. c) Ill-defined centrilobular nodules in a patient with farmer's lung (personal communication; J.C. Dalphin). d) Localised micronodules branching with bronchovascular structures (tree-in-bud pattern) related to tuberculosis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treatment with anti-tumour necrosis factor-α.
