  		Figure 2. (a) High resolution CT scan reveals diffuse ground-glass attenuation and septal thickening with calcified nodules, defining the "crazy-paving" pattern (window/level 1730/–810 HU). (b) The septal thickening is more clearly visualized with this window/level (770/10 HU). Calcifications of subpleural aspect are also seen.
