CT Interpretation of Interstitial and cystic lung disease

The sources primarily focus on the diagnosis and imaging of interstitial lung diseases (ILD), with a strong emphasis on using High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT). One source details a quality improvement project for a new HRCT protocol utilizing prone expiratory imaging for ILD, demonstrating success in reducing motion artifact and improving visualization of air-trapping compared to older methods. The other documents are comprehensive radiology reviews that discuss the interpretation of HRCT for various diffuse lung diseases, notably providing detailed diagnostic criteria for patterns like Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and differential diagnoses for cystic lung diseases such as Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). These materials highlight the complex and evolving nature of ILD diagnosis, which increasingly relies on a multidisciplinary approach incorporating advanced CT imaging and emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
