HRCT Primer
In this section of Radiology Rounds, we will discuss HRCT technique, identification of radiologic features such as honeycombing and reticulation, which are typical for interstitial lung disease, and CT features of comorbid conditions such as pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Role of HRCT in Diagnosing Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
In this section, we will review the process of diagnosing interstitial lung disease.
HRCT Technique for Optimal Evaluation of ILD
The advent of HRCT and the development of advanced reconstruction algorithms has allowed confident diagnoses of interstitial lung disease without surgical lung biopsy.
Patient Case Studies: Radiological Journey and Multidisciplinary Approach
In this section, we will explore 4 case studies from patients with varying interstitial lung disease, including IPF, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
