To compare the correlation of limited three-level thin-section CT versus standard 10-mm incremental thin-section CT with pathologic scoring in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Assessed thin-section computed tomography protocols using standard 10-mm increments compared to limited three-level acquisitions in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Correlated imaging features from both computed tomography approaches with pathologic scoring.
Limited thin-section computed tomography detects the pathologic changes of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as effectively as scans obtained at standard 10-mm increments.
The limited three-level imaging protocol provides an added clinical advantage by reducing diagnostic radiation exposure to patients.
