Abstract

We describe high-resolution CT findings of pulmonary edema following the administration of intravenous nonionic contrast media in a patient who had no previous history of cardiovascular disease ; areas of ground glass opacity and interlobular septal thickenings which partly disappeared on scans obtained 90 minutes after the initial scans. The proposed mechanisms of pulmonary edema are briefly discussed.
