Health Exercise is crucial in pulmonary rehab because it trains your body to use oxygen more efficiently. Start with low-impact activities such as walking or stationary cycling. Gradually increase intensity based on comfort and endurance. Incorporat
g consolidations. Interpretation: The HRCT resembles organizing pneumonia, characterized by patchy consolidation with peripheral and peribronchial predilection. Implication: Typically responds well to corticosteroids. HRCT helps distinguish OP from infectious causes or other ILDs.
