Congestive heart failure presenting as diffuse pulmonary nodules on CT

Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients have typical radiological features that assist in diagnosis. This is a case that demonstrates an atypical radiologic presentation for CHF which showed diffuse pulmonary nodules on CT. Diffuse nodules can be present in several disease processes and clinical cor...

description Congestive heart failure (CHF) patients have typical radiological features that assist in diagnosis. This is a case that demonstrates an atypical radiologic presentation for CHF which showed diffuse pulmonary nodules on CT. Diffuse nodules can be present in several disease processes and clinical correlation is a necessity for diagnosis. It is important for radiologists and clinicians to be aware of uncommon radiological features of CHF to avoid unnecessary procedures or treatments.
