High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is an essential component of the diagnosis and assessment of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). In some cases, a diagnosis of ILD can be made solely based on a multidisciplinary discussion of HRCT findings and clinical evaluation. HRCT findings also inform prognosis and may influence treatment decisions. It is essential that high-quality HRCT images are obtained using parameters for optimum spatial resolution. Key terms used to describe HRCT findings should be used consistently among clinicians. Radiologic information should be included as part of the multidisciplinary discussion of patients with ILDs during follow-up.
高分辨率计算机断层扫描（HRCT）是诊断和评估间质性肺疾病（ILDs）患者的重要组成部分。在某些情况下，ILD 的诊断可以仅基于对 HRCT 结果和临床评估的多学科讨论来做出。HRCT 结果还可以提供预后信息，并可能影响治疗决策。使用最佳空间分辨率的参数获取高质量的 HRCT 图像至关重要。用于描述 HRCT 结果的关键术语应在临床医生中保持一致。在ILD 患者的多学科讨论中，应将放射学信息作为随访的一部分包括在内。
