Description

ARRS High-Resolution Chest CT 2024 This categorical course will provide a systematic review of interstitial lung disease (ILD) CT imaging, led by renowned specialists in pulmonary medicine and thoracic surgery. Lectures will include reviews of clinical presentations of ILD, considerations for imaging referrals, basics of lung biopsy for pathologic correlation, the use of antifibrotic medications, and patient selection and workup for lung transplantation. Gain valuable insights into pitfalls in radiology diagnosis of ILD and receive expert guidance to avoid misdiagnosis.

Learning Outcomes

Outline basic HRCT techniques, anatomy, and technical considerations in ILD diagnosis.
Explain the clinical considerations for imaging referral, biopsy, antifibrotic medical therapy, and lung transplantation in the setting of ILD.
Identify the CT findings of a spectrum of ILD entities, from the common to the rare.
Review complications of ILD, from exacerbations to complications of lung transplantation.
