Dec 20, 2007 · Respiratory bronchiolitis (RB), respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD), and desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) represent different degrees of severity of small airway and parenchymal reaction to cigarette smoke (8).

Feb 11, 2025 · Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term that encompasses a large number of disorders that are characterized by diffuse cellular infiltrates in a periacinar location. The spectrum of conditions included is broad, ranging from occasional self-limited inflammatory processes to severe debilitating fibrosis of the lungs.

This reticular pattern of thickened intra- and interlobular septa, as well as irregular thickening of the bronchovascular interstitium (interface sign) is an important diagnostic finding in the heterogeneous group of interstitial lung diseases (ILD).

3 days ago · Learn about the optimal technique for HRCT when providing an accurate diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).

Feb 20, 2019 · HRCT plays a central role in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases. The differential diagnosis of HRCTs is based on the analysis of the predominant CT pattern, the ancillary CT findings, and the distribution of the findings.

Nov 21, 2024 · High-resolution CT (HRCT) of the chest, also referred to as HRCT chest or HRCT of the lungs has become routine. With progression of CT scanner technology, slice thickness of 0.5-0.625 mm can be obtained with a sharp reconstruction algorithm on all modern scanners.

4 days ago · Click here to learn more about how HRCT patterns and distribution can be used to determine the cause of ILD with Boehringer Ingelheim and IPF Radiology Rounds.

After identification of CT findings consistent with fibrosing ILD, HRCT has an important role in narrowing diagnostic possibilities by identifying characteristic morphological patterns or, in some cases, indicating specific clinical entities (such as HP, sarcoidosis, and asbestosis).

3 days ago · In this study, only 1 out of 33 ANCA-positive patients was diagnosed with MPA, and there was also no increase in the serum creatinine level in the ANCA-positive RA-ILD group compared with that in the ANCA-negative RA-ILD group. The most common chest HRCT pattern in ANCA-positive RA-ILD patients is the UIP pattern . In addition, in this study ...
