Axial (A, B) and coronal (C) HRCT images of an SSc patient demonstrate NSIP pattern with ground-glass opacities (black arrows), well depicted in the subpleural and basal regions of the lung; fine reticulations may be also observed. Coronal MPR image is useful to better delineate the presence of small bronchiectasis, which may be seen in the peripheral basal regions (white empty arrows)
