Ground-glass opacity is a nonspecific term that refers to the presence of a hazy increase in lung opacity on HRCT that, somewhat arbitrarily, is not associated with obscuration of underlying vessels or bronchial margins; if vessels are obscured, the term consolidation is generally used. This finding can reflect the presence of a number of abnormalities and can be seen in patients with airspace disease, interstitial thickening, partial alveolar collapse (atelectasis), increased capillary blood volume, or a combination of these.

From: WEBB - High-Resolution CT of the Lung

Notes:

1. parenchymal [pə'rəŋkəməl] 实质的,主质的

2. opacification [oʊpæsɪfɪ'keɪʃən] n. 不透明

3. arbitrarily [ˌɑrbəˈtrɛrəlɪ] adv.任意地;  反复无常地

4. bronchial [ˈbrɑ:ŋkiəl] adj. 支气管的

5. alveolar [æl'vi:ələr] adj. 小泡的

6. atelectasis [ˌætə'lektəsɪs] n. 肺不张

【HRCT Findings: Parenchymal Opacification 肺实质的高密度影】
肺实质的高密度影,可呈局限性或弥漫性,或多灶性的密度增高影,是慢性肺疾病患者HRCT中常见的征像。肺部的密度增高影也称为磨玻璃影(GGO)或实变影。
“磨玻璃影”是用来描述HRCT上肺实质模糊高密度影的非特异性术语。有时使用的也比较随意,通常不伴血管支气管影的边缘模糊不清。若出现血管影模糊,则常用“实变”来描述。这一征像可提示病变的数量,可见于肺空腔疾病、肺间质增厚、部分肺泡萎陷(肺不张)、肺毛细血管增多症或并发以上多种疾病的患者。
