HRCT imaging features of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate radiographic features systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. Patients and methods: 116 patients with disease (SSc-ILD) from 2010 2019 comprised our retrospective study. All were subject high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). ILD patterns classified into 7 as IIPs analyzed pathology. We chose two staging method semi-quantitative score methods HRCT performance pulmonary function tests. Results: Ground-glass opacities most common presentation on HRCT, followed by interlobular septal thickening, reticular opacities, intralobular thickening; honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis nodules can also be observed. pattern SSc-ILD nonspecific pneumonia (NSIP), secondly UIP. There no difference in between pathology, revealed a congruence. four evaluating presented this all had significant relationships PETs. Conclusion: (NSIP). coincide very well histology, will replace pathology gold standard for diagnosis evaluation SSc-ILD.
