Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli: etiology, medical treatment, and prophylaxis.

abstract：:Areas of variable lung attenuation forming a "mosaic pattern" are occasionally seen on computed tomography (CT) or high-resolution CT (HRCT) images of the lungs. This CT mosaic pattern of lung attenuation is a nonspecific finding that can reflect the presence of vascular disease, airway abnormalities, or ground-glass ...
