May prompt radiologists to query vaping history in compatible lung injury patterns; leaves open need for prospective validation of diagnostic criteria.
E-cigarette use is associated with a range of lung injury patterns that have only recently been recognized as use of these products continues to rise. When the radiologist sees one of these patterns of lung injury, it is important to raise the possibility of vaping-induced lung injury because cessation of vaping is an important step in treatment.
