Thin-section CT scores were as follows: Castile score, 22 (range, 0-92); Brody score, 17 (range, 0-100); Helbich score, 12 (range, 0-27); Santamaria score, 13 (range, 0-29); Bhalla score, 12 (range, 0-25).

Center: Scan shows cysts in the periphery of the lung (2), bronchiectasis with a diameter of the artery that was one to two times that of the artery at a central location (3), and mucus-plugged bronchus (4). Right: Scan shows cysts in the periphery of the lung (5).
