Rheumatoid Arthritis–associated Interstitial Lung Disease: Radiologic Identification of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia Pattern

摘要

We have shown that the widely accepted and validated CT features for a radiologic usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern used to make a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis can be used to identify UIP pattern in patients with rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease with a high degree of confidence.
