Overview

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) present a significant challenge in respiratory healthcare due to their complex and heterogeneous nature. Diagnosing ILD, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), requires a multidisciplinary approach involving radiologists, pulmonologists, and other healthcare professionals. The educational need for this video lies in improving the diagnostic skills of healthcare professionals, particularly in recognizing and differentiating various ILD patterns on imaging, understanding the role of genetic testing, and integrating clinical, radiological, and pathological data for accurate diagnosis. This content is vital for ensuring timely and appropriate management of ILD patients, reducing misdiagnosis, and improving patient outcomes.
