• typical hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • coarse reticulation and minimal honeycombing in a random axial distribution with no zonal predominance
  • evidence of small airway disease
• compatible with hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • variable pattern and/or distribution of lung fibrosis:
    • basal and subpleural predominance
    • upper zone predominance
    • central or peribronchovascular predominance
  • fibrotic ground-glass attenuation seen alone or in association with small airway disease
• indeterminate for hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern
  • nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) pattern
  • organizing pneumonia-like pattern
  • truly indeterminate findings
