Sarcoidosis. 1994 Sep;11(2):90-9.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. The role of radiology is not only to support the clinical diagnosis but also as an adjunct to monitor the course and progression of the disease. The cornerstone of radiological assessment is the plain radiograph, however newer imaging methods are producing more information in relation to the anatomical distribution and pathophysiology which may ultimately have a profound effect on the management of this protean disease.
结节病是一种病因不明的多系统肉芽肿性疾病。放射学的作用不仅在于辅助临床诊断,还在于作为监测疾病进程和进展的辅助手段。放射学评估的基石是X线平片,然而,更新的成像方法正在提供更多有关解剖分布和病理生理学的信息,这最终可能会对这种多变疾病的治疗产生深远影响。
