Abstract
The radiological term GGO or ground-glass opacity was established when high-resolution CT (HRCT) became part of standard practice, and describes “a hazy attenuation of lung, with preservation of bronchial and vascular margins: caused by partial filling of air spaces, interstitial thickening, partial collapse of alveoli, normal expiration, or increased capillary blood volume….”1 As such GGO is a nonspecific finding but depending on the clinical circumstances it may suggest a specific diagnosis and have consequences for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
