High Resolution Computed Tomography in Interstitial Lung Diseases.
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The present study was conducted to evaluate the various high resolution computed tomo graphic patterns of interstitial lung diseases, to assess the reversible (active) verses irreversible (fibrotic) interstitial lung disease with follow up examinations and to limit the differential diagnosis and to make the specific diagnosis. Materials and Methods: A total number of 50 patients with suspected or known interstitial lung disease were studied by high resolution multidetector computed tomography (HRCT) over a period of 24 months. Results: Idiopathic pulmonaryfibrosis,lymphangitic carcinomatosis,hypersensitivity pneumonitis,rheumatoid arthritis, miliary tuberculosis,nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, acute interstitial pneumonia,pnemocystis carinii pneumonia, cardiogenic pulmonaryedema, SLE, progressive systemic sclerosis, welder”s pnemoconiosis, sarcoidosis, silicosis. were the interstitial lung diseases. Conclusion: High Resolution Computed Tomography is a standard investigation to identify and quantify anatomic pattern and distribution of various interstitial lung diseases and also evaluates activeness and progression of disease in relation to prognosis and therapy.
