Abstract

BACKGROUND: Antifibrotic therapies are available to treat chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (CF-ILDs), including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Early use of these treatments is recommended to slow deterioration of respiratory function and to prevent acute exacerbation. However, identifying patients in the early stages of CF-ILD using chest radiographs is challenging. In this study, we developed and tested a deep-learning algorithm to detect CF-ILD using chest radiograph images.
