Abstract

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of HRCT (high resolution CT) on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Methods The imaging data of 56 patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia confirmed by pathology were retrospectively collected. All patients were given HRCT scan. The disease distribution was judged according to the scan results, and the imaging characteristics of different periods were analyzed. Results HRCT showed the ground glass-like shadow change, reticular change, honeycomb change and subpleural interstitial fibrosis. Among the 56 patients, 46.4% were early patients, and the HRCT images showed ground glass, intralobular interstitial thickening and interlobular septal thickening. And 53.6% were non-early patients, and the images showed subpleural arc shadow and honeycomb lung in addition to the above symptoms, and the percentage of interlobular septal thickening was the highest. Conclusion The HRCT of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in different periods has its own characteristics. And its imaging results can effectively reflect the lesions and can be used for the differential diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.
