When is the use of contrast media in chest CT indicated?
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a severe and progressive chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease, a definitive diagnosis being established by specific combinations of clinical, radiological, and pathological findings. According to current international guidelines, HRCT plays a key role in establishing a diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Current guidelines describe three UIP patterns based on HRCT findings: a typical UIP pattern; a pattern designated “ possible UIP ” ; and a pattern designated “ inconsistent with UIP ” , each pattern having important diagnostic implications. A typical UI...
