The tree-in-bud sign is a nonspecific imaging finding that implies impaction within bronchioles, the smallest airway passages in the lung. The differential for this finding includes malignant and inflammatory etiologies, either infectious or sterile.
Peribronchial cuffing, also referred to as peribronchial thickening or bronchial wall thickening, is a radiologic sign which occurs when excess fluid or mucus buildup in the small airway passages of the lung causes localized patches of atelectasis (lung collapse). [1]
3. Nodule with poorly defined margins - Round density within the lung parenchyma, also called a tuberculoma. Nodules included in this category are those with margins that are indistinct or poorly defined (tree-in-bud sign [3]). The surrounding haziness can be either subtle or readily apparent and suggests coexisting airspace consolidation.
Where present it is a strong diagnostic factor of ABPA and distinguishes symptoms from other causes of bronchiectasis. [11] CT scans may more rarely reveal mosaic-appearance attenuation, centrilobular lung nodules, tree-in-bud opacities, and pleuropulmonary fibrosis (a finding consistent with CPA, a disease with ABPA as a known precursor).

AAH is a pre-malignant cause of nodular GGO and is more commonly associated with lower attenuation on CT and smaller nodule size (<10 mm) compared to adenocarcinoma. [10] In addition, AAH often lacks the solid features and spiculated appearance that are often associated with malignant growths. [ 9 ]
If an apple tree, for example, is only in its silver tip bud stage (the first one), temperatures down to 15 degrees will result in a 10% fruit loss. Temperatures down to 2 degrees will result in a ...

In radiology, Canga's bead symptom is the irregular appearance of uterus and nodular structures in tuba uterina observed in patients with genital tuberculosis. [1] It is named for Serif Canga (1906–1993), a Turkish Gynecologist, in 1971.
