Pulmonary complications account for significant morbidity and mortality in patients following bone marrow transplants (BMT). They are distinct from other immunosuppressed patients in that there is a predictable course of immunosuppresion and therefore of likely pulmonary complications. This is important when interpreting abnormal radiology as the predictable time course will enable narrowing the differential diagnoses to certain pulmonary complications that characteristically occur at a particular time following BMT. Early recognition and correct treatment of the pulmonary complications should minimize the significant mortality and morbidity. This review aims to discuss the role of radiology in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary complications following BMT.
