Abstract

BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) represents a group of chronic heterogeneous diseases, and current clinical practice in assessment of ILD severity and progression mainly rely on the radiologist-based visual screening, which greatly restricts the accuracy of disease assessment due to the high inter- and intra-subjective observer variability.
