Objective To summarize the HRCT findings of primary interstitial pneumonia and to analyze its clinical diagnostic value. Methods 96 cases of patients with suspected primary interstitial pneumonia treated in our hospital during January 2011 to August 2015 were studied. All patients underwent HRCT examination. The HRCT imaging findings of primary interstitial pneumonia were summarized. Results A total of 576 images were obtained from 96 patients by HRCT. Ground-glass shadows, intralobular interstitial thickening, broncho-vascular tracts thickening, bronchiolectasis and honeycombing shadows, etc. Were common, accounting for 81.1%, 79.2%, 71.0%, 58.0%, 44.4%and 42.9%, respectively; In addition, it also included intralobular nodular shadow, pulmonary emphysema, air space consolidation shadow, grid shadow, subpleural linear shadow, cystic degeneration, interstitial nodules and mosaic signs, accounting for 16.3%, 15.1%, 15.8%, 10.6%, 7.3%, 6.6%, 3.6%and 2.2%, respectively.
