Abbott MD Imaging Modalities For patients with connective tissue disorders immunological diseases and vasculitis who have symptoms referable to the thorax the imaging evaluation typically begins with chest radiography but often requires CT HRCT studies for accurate detection and characterization of pleuropulmonary abnormalities. In some cases the pleuropulmonary imaging findings of these disorders are the initial manifestation of the disease which may not become clinically apparent until months or years later. Connective Tissue Disease Connective tissue diseases also called collagen vascular diseases comprise a group of autoimmune disorders characterized by damage to connective tissue components at various anatomic locations in the body. These include rheumatoid arthritis scleroderma mixed connective tissue disorder polymyositis and dermatomyositis systemic lupus erythematosus Sjogren syndrome and ankylosing spondylitis. These .
