Fig. 6.

59-year-old man with hard metal pneumoconiosis. Initial HRCT scan (a) shows scattered areas of ground-glass attenuation associated with fine reticulation and mild traction bronchiectasis. HRCT obtained 3 years later (b) reveals increase in parenchymal abnormalities in extent, prominent reticulation, and progression of traction bronchiectasis. HRCT obtained 5 years later (c) shows dense increased parenchymal opacities with traction bronchiectasis
