Spectrum of Interstitial Lung Disease as Seen on Computed Tomography in a Tertiary Centre

Swapnil Patil, Suprabhat Bolisetti, Seema Grover

Abstract: Interstitial lung disease is a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from occasional self-limited inflammatory processes to severe debilitating fibrosis of the lungs. Imaging plays an essential role in characterizing this group of disorders and can often suggest the diagnosis, though the final interpretation requires a coordinated effort involving the radiologist, pathologist, and clinician. The challenge in diagnosing ILDs in India is constrained by lack of resources and standardized health care in India, lack of standardized approach in diagnosis and treatment of ILD. Empirical treatment is required for most patients diagnosed with ILD. The aim of this study is to find the prevalence of various interstitial lung disease in a developing country like INDIA at a tertiary centre.
