Abstract
The pathology and radiology of 19 cases of histologically proven pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) were studied retrospectively. There was a good correlation between the pathological and radiological findings. Radiology therefore provides a useful indicator of early PIE which may allow more successful management and decreased morbidity and mortality.
