Interstitial lung disease in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases: radiologic and histologic correlations

Puntos clave

• SSc-ILD and RA-ILD show fair-to-moderate correlation between histology and HRCT imaging patterns, indicating limitations in diagnosis.
• IIM-ILD displays significant histologic heterogeneity, suggesting stricter analysis may be required for accurate pathology assessment.
• Anti-MDA5+ disease exhibits aggressive progression, highlighting challenges in predicting outcomes based solely on imaging findings.
• Assessment of interstitial lung disease across various systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases reveals complex correlations.
