Multinodular lung disease is routinely encountered on chest computed tomography (CT). Pulmonary nodules may be categorized as perilymphatic, random, or centrilobular, based on their CT distribution. Recognition of the pattern of distribution allows the differential diagnosis to be narrowed to a few common diseases. This review illustrates the CT appearance and provides a practical differential diagnosis of each pattern of nodules.
