Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are radiologic abnormalities found incidentally on chest CT that are potentially related to interstitial lung diseases. Several articles have reported that ILAs are associated with increased mortality, and they can show radiologic progression. With the increased recognition of ILAs on CT, the role of radiologists in reporting them is critical. This review aims to discuss the clinical significance and radiologic characteristics of ILAs to facilitate and enhance their management.
间质性肺异常(ILAs)是胸部 CT 偶然发现的潜在与间质性肺疾病相关的放射学异常。有几篇文章报道称,ILAs 与死亡率增加有关,并且它们可以显示放射学进展。随着 CT 上对 ILAs 的认识增加,放射科医生在报告这些异常方面的作用至关重要。本综述旨在讨论 ILAs 的临床意义和放射学特征,以促进和加强对它们的管理。
