Abstract
In this chapter, the most common and characteristic features of several diseases that affect the lungs are demonstrated. Some diseases show a typical presentation while others are less typical or show only a part of their spectrum of CT signs. These cases are in the first place intended for exercising pattern recognition and will also help to understand why diseases appear as they do on CT.
