Interactive high-resolution computed tomography digital atlas of interstitial lung disease

Abstract

High-resolution computed tomography is a necessary tool used in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease. The interpretation of high-resolution computed tomography can be difficult given the wide spectrum of imaging appearances within the same disease and among different diseases. The authors provide a new educational method to learn about the spectrum of idiopathic interstitial lung disease through the use of a free online digital atlas and review article. This atlas can be downloaded at http://www.seattlechildrens.org/radiologyeducation/ILD.
