2024年10月8日 · In others, fibrosis can be progressive and follow a recognisable CT pattern such as UIP or NSIP. Interstitial lung abnormality refers to early fibrotic lung disease which may progress. Fibrosis in the lung is a process that occurs in the interstitium. Pulmonary fibrosis can be localized, segmental, or lobar or affect the entirety of the lung (s).

2024年12月18日 · Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a clinical syndrome and considered the most common and the most lethal form of pulmonary fibrosis corresponding to the histologic and imaging pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia. It is more …

2021年1月7日 · Incidental mild interstitial changes – in patients clinically not suspected of ILD – have been named ‘interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA)’. These indeterminate and minor changes may represent an early stage of fibrotic interstitial lung disease, but may also just represent some post-infectious scarring or mild smoking- or age-related ...

2016年2月22日 · IPF is associated with the histopathologic pattern of usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP) and, as such, represents a distinct clinical syndrome (effectively, “idiopathic UIP”) as clarified in a prior consensus document [2].

2021年2月25日 · Imaging serves a key role in the diagnosis of patients suspected of having idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Accurate pattern classification at thin-section chest CT is a key step in multidisciplinary discussions, guiding the need for surgical lung biopsy and determining available pharmacologic therapies.

2024年11月18日 · In recent years, major advances have been made in the understanding and management of fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), making the detection of these pathologies on computed tomography (CT) imaging crucial for both diagnosis and monitoring.

Until today, computed tomography (CT) is the most important and valuable radiological modality to detect, analyze, and diagnose diffuse interstitial lung diseases (DILD), based on the unsurpassed morphological detail provided by high-resolution CT technique.

2025年2月26日 · Lung fibrosis often starts with repeated or chronic injury to the alveolar epithelium (i.e., exposure such as in silicosis, drug interaction, or unknown pathogens such as in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). ... Hovinga M, Sprengers R, Kauczor HU, Schaefer-Prokop C. CT imaging of interstitial lung diseases. Multidetector-row CT of the thorax ...

In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic value of features derived high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for patients with IPF and correlated them with pulmonary function tests.

2024年4月1日 · Because high-resolution chest CT scan forms the backbone of diagnosis for ILD, this review will discuss evidence-based imaging findings of key fibrotic ILDs and an approach for differentiating these diseases.
