Interstitial Lung Disease
COD 189 - Idiopathic Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis (iPPFE) - Volumes, Flat Chest and Meandering Trachea Paid Members Public
All the findings that go into making a diagnosis of iPPFE
COD 174 - Scleroderma and FANO Paid Members Public
Early changes and FANO
ILD Patterns - The NSIP Pattern Paid Members Public
NSIP presents typically with spatial and temporal homogeneity and may have cellular/inflammatory and fibrotic components. There may be subpleural sparing. It is almost always a result of an underlying etiology like connective tissue disease (CTD)
COD 162 - ILD or Mimics Paid Members Public
Mimics that simulate ILA or ILD
ILD Patterns - The UIP Pattern Paid Members Public
The UIP pattern, characterized by reticular opacities, subpleural basal predominance and traction bronchiectasis with or without honeycombing is the classic fibrosing ILD pattern. Primary UIP implies IPF, while secondary UIP implies other etiologies
COD 131 - The Alveolar Filling Pattern Paid Members Public
The diffuse crazy-paving pattern is quite distinctive in its classic, typical form.
COD 123 - Peridiaphragmatic Inflammation & Fibrosis - PDIF - New CT Sign of Inflammatory Myopathy ILD Paid Members Public
The PDIF sign is basically the presence of a fibrosing ILD typically compacted within the last 2 cm of the peridiaphragmatic lung and may suggest not just CTD-ILD but specifically myositis ILD
COD 118 - ILA of Sequelae - What is the Correct Terminology? Paid Members Public
When faced with indeterminate interstitial lesions, it is a good idea to ask for a COVID-19 history and if present, try and compare with those scans to understand whether the interstitial lesions are sequelae, new lesions or pre-existing prior to the COVID-19 episode
