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 …

Objective To differentiate smoking-related interstitial fibrosis (SRIF) from usual interstitial
pneumonia (UIP) with emphysema on CT in combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema …

A fluorinated analog of proline amino acid, cis-4-[18F] fluoro-l-proline (FP), was tested for
potential use in PET for detection and evaluation of pulmonary response to respirable …

Objectives To evaluate lung T2 mapping for quantitative characterization and differentiation
of ground-glass opacity (GGO), reticulation (RE) and honeycombing (HC) in usual interstitial …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung is technically challenging due to the low
proton density and fast signal decay of the lung parenchyma itself. Additional challenges …

Morphological evaluation of the lung is important in the clinical evaluation of pulmonary
diseases. However, the disease process, especially in its early phases, may primarily result …

Purpose: Topological texture features were compared in their ability to classify
“honeycombing,” a morphological pattern that is considered indicative for the presence of …

This study evaluated the clinical significance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with interstitial
lung disease (ILD), by investigating the relationships between 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters …

Rationale: Honeycombing on chest computed tomography (CT) has been described in
diverse forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD); however, its prevalence and association with …

A usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) imaging pattern can be seen in both idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease (CTD …
