Before the advent of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), the role of imaging,
chest radiography in particular, in the management of patients with interstitial lung disease …

The absence of superimposition of parenchymal structures on HRCT permits better
assessment of the pattern and distribution of disease than is possible on the radiograph …

HRCT plays an important role in the detection, diagnosis and follow-up of diffuse
parenchymal and interstitial lung disease and may be very helpful in predicting prognosis. In …

High-resolution CT (HRCT) is the radiological imaging technique that most closely reflects
changes in lung structure. It represents the radiological method of choice for the diagnostic …

Introduction: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has revolutionized the
diagnosis, prognosis and in some cases the prediction of therapeutic response in interstitial …

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are currently classified into four categories of disease:
usual, desquamative, and acute interstitial pneumonia, and nonspecific interstitial …

The term interstitial lung disease (ILD) comprises more than 200 separate disease entities,
each having its separate and often unique radiological manifestations. Because the clinical …

There is little doubt that imaging tests have a central role in the investigation of patients with
suspected and established diffuse interstitial lung diseases (DILD). In most cases …

While radiography is the first-line imaging technique for evaluation of pulmonary disease,
high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) provides detailed assessment of the lung …

When HRCT and clinical findings are both typical of an individual diffuse lung disease, ie
'pathognomonic', it is generally appropriate to institute management based on a confident …
