Abstract

BACKGROUND: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is helpful for diagnosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD), but it largely depends on the experience of physicians. Herein, our study aims to develop a deep-learning-based classification model to differentiate the three common types of ILD, so as to provide a reference to help physicians make the diagnosis and improve the accuracy of ILD diagnosis.
