Over the past decade, there has been a groundswell of research interest in computer-based methods for objectively quantifying fibrotic lung disease on high resolution CT of the chest. In the past 5 years, the arrival of deep learning-based image anal...
In recent months two major fields of interest in pulmonary imaging have stood out: pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary nodules. New guidelines have been released to define pulmonary fibrosis and subsequent studies have proved the value of these changes....
Exposure to certain chemicals such as disinfectants through inhalation is suspected to be involved in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease in which lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. Pulmonary fibrosis is known to be regulated ...

Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) can cause adverse health effects on workers' respiratory system, yet no proper biomarkers have been used to detect early pulmonary injury of RCFs-exposed workers. This study assessed the levels of two biomarkers that ...

Incidental features of interstitial lung disease (ILD) are commonly observed on chest computed tomography (CT) scans and are independently associated with poor outcomes. Although most studies to date have relied on qualitative assessments of ILD, qu...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) diagnosis is complex, continuously evolving, and increasingly reliant on thin-section chest CT. Multidisciplinary discussion aided by a thorough radiologic review can achieve a high-confidence diagnosis of ILD in the m...
One possible adverse effect of breast irradiation is the development of pulmonary fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether planning CT scans can predict which patients are more likely to develop lung lesions after treatment. A retrosp...
The licensing of antifibrotic therapy for fibrotic lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), has created an urgent need for reliable biomarkers to predict disease progression and treatment response. Some patients experience stable...
