Abstract

BACKGROUND: A machine learning classifier system, Fibresolve, was designed and validated as an adjunct to non-invasive diagnosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The system uses a deep learning algorithm to analyze chest computed tomography (CT) imaging. We hypothesized that Fibresolve is a useful predictor of mortality in interstitial lung diseases (ILD).
