The distribution of NCP lesions on chest CT patterns is shown in Table 2 . Of the 57 patients, 15 (25.3%) were unidirectional except for one without abnormality: right lung in 6 (10.5%) and left lung in 9 (15.8%). The lesions were bilateral in 41 (71.9%) patients. The distribution of anomalies was predominantly subpleural lesions in 51 (89.5%) patients (Fig. 1) . The most lesions were located in the anteromedial basal (63.2%) from the lower lobe of the left lung, followed by the lateral basal (59.6%) of the lower lobe of the right lung, medial basal (47.4%) of the lower lobe of the left lung, etc. (summarized in Table 2 ). One lung had one segment and two segments involved in 7 cases. Parenchymal changes primarily represented GGOs in the lung. The three categories of GGO are single (8.8%), two (15.8%), multiple (48.2%), respectively. All rights reserved.
