It is well known that high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is an essential
component of the diagnostic pathway in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Honeycombing …

Purpose There is a lack of prognostic biomarkers in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of 18 F-FDG-PET/CT to …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive pulmonary disease that is ultimately fatal.
Although the diagnosis of IPF has been revolutionized by high-resolution computed …

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases of
unclear etiology and are distinguished from diffuse parenchymal lung diseases of known …

The advent of quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and artificial intelligence (AI) using
high-resolution computed tomography data has revolutionised the way interstitial diseases …

Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes many rare and often poorly understood
heterogeneous diseases that cause fibrosis and/or inflammation of the lungs. ILDs are …

Beyond being a substitute for X-ray, computed tomography, and scintigraphy, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) inherently combines morphologic and functional information more …

Background Assessing functional impairment, therapeutic response and disease
progression in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) continues to be challenging …

Objectives The individual course of disease in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is highly
variable. Assessment of disease activity and prospective estimation of disease progression …

There is increased awareness of smoking-related lung diseases other than lung cancer and
