| description | Introduction: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) represent
heterogeneous group of disorders of lower respiratory
tract that are characterised by both acute and chronic
inflammation and a generally irreversible and relentless
process involving the interstitium.
Aim: To classify and characterise Diffuse Parenchymal
Lung Disease (DPLD) in the state of Goa, using high
Resolution CT (HRCT) scan.
Materials and Methods: HRCT of thorax was performed
on 128 Slice CT scanner (SOMATOM Definition AS;
Siemens) with 1 mm collimation at full inspiration. Scan
was taken at 10 mm interval in supine as well as prone
position and images were reconstructed using high spatial
frequency algorithm.
Results: Amongst ILD most prevalent was NSIP (19),
followed after UIP (15), IPF (8), Sarcoidosis (6), COP (3),
HP (3), Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema
(2), Silicosis (3) and LCH (1). DIP and LIP are very rare
interstitial pneumonias.
Conclusion: HRCT of lungs helps to identify and quantify
anatomic distribution and pattern of various ILD and
also to evaluate different phases, disease activity and
progression of diseases in relation to prognosis and
therapy. Histopathological diagnosis can be reached in
most cases of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias based on
HRCT findings, obviating the need for biopsy |
