Radiologic pattern has been shown to predict survival in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease. The additional prognostic value of fibrosis extent by quantitative computed tomography (CT) is unknown. We hypothesized that fibrosis extent...
BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) encompass various disorders characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis in the lung interstitium. These conditions produce distinct patterns in High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT).

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 restric...

Reliable outcome prediction in patients with fibrotic lung disease using baseline high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) data remains challenging. To evaluate the prognostic accuracy of a deep learning algorithm (SOFIA [Systematic Objective Fib...
Fine crackles are frequently heard in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and are known as the sensitive indicator for ILDs, although the objective method for analyzing respiratory sounds including fine crackles is not clinically availabl...

The computed tomography (CT) pattern of definite or probable usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) can be diagnostic of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and may obviate the need for invasive surgical biopsy. Few machine-learning studies have investigated ...
