Fig. 1A. 25-year-old woman with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. High-resolution
CT scans (1.5-mm collimation) through right lung reveal extensive areas of
decreased attenuation involving right middle and lower lobes. Note decreased
bronchus-topulmonary artery diameter ratios (arrows).

Fig. 2A. 20-year-old man with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. High-resolution CT
scan (1.5-mm collimation) through right upper lobe reveals reduced diameter of
segmental bronchi compared with diameter of accompanying pulmonary artery
(arrows). Note focal areas of decreased lung attenuation. Also note
few linear opacities and mild architectural distortion seen
anteromedially.
