The relatively low diagnostic accuracy of chest radiography in aspiration diseases can be improved with CT and by being familiar with the clinical settings in which specific complications are likely to occur. Aspiration of infectious material manifests as necrotizing consolidation and abscess formation. ![]() CT is the modality of choice in establishing the diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia, which can result from aspiration of hydrocarbons or of mineral oil or a related substance. An extensive, patchy bronchopneumonic pattern may be observed in patients following massive aspiration of gastric acid or water. Foreign body aspiration typically occurs in children and manifests as obstructive lobar or segmental overinflation or atelectasis. Esophagography and computed tomography (CT) are especially useful in the evaluation of aspiration disease related to tracheoesophageal or tracheopulmonary fistula. These disease entities most commonly involve the posterior segment of the upper lobes and the superior segment of the lower lobes. The aspiration of different substances into the airways and lungs may cause a variety of pulmonary complications.
