E-cigarette, or vaping, product use Associated Lung Injury (EVALI): new scenarios for physicians and radiologists
A 59-year-old female ex-smoker with 40 pack year smoking history and a 5-year current e-cigarette (EC) use history, presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and daily cough for 2 months. A CT scan showed a consolidation area with air bronchogram in the middle lobe and non-calcific bilateral n...
