Abstract
High-resolution computed tomography of the lung has been advocated in the evaluation of interstitial lung diseases and emphysema. To provide material for correlations with gross pathology and macroscopic quantitation of emphysema, the authors have shortened and simplified the Gough-Wentworth technique. The method permits more precise correlation of cross-sectional images and pathologic specimens and is less time-consuming. This modified method can be routinely performed in a clinical laboratory of pathology and provides paper-mounted whole lung sections within four days. The sections are protected by a transparency film.
