Assessment of fibrosing interstitial lung disease progression: CT visual score on radiological progressive pulmonary fibrosis criteria versus 3D-CT volume-histogram analysis

Abstract Purpose To identify the most reproducible visual scoring approach on radiological criteria of the 2022 progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) guideline and compare its association with pulmonary function test (PFT) decline against quantitative 3D-CT volume-histogram analys...

Exploratory proteomic analysis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis using data-independent acquisition

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (fHP) are two distinct interstitial lung diseases often showing similar clinical features, making differentiation challenging. Precise diagnosis is essential because treatment strategies for these condi...
