Dr. Jonathan Chung provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and practice of high-resolution CT (HRCT) interpretation, emphasizing a pattern-based approach to assessing interstitial lung disease (ILD). This course will reinforce essential diagnostic concepts and enhance confidence in evaluating diffuse lung abnormalities.
Take this course to improve your ability to recognize and characterize interstitial lung disease on HRCT. Follow along as Dr. Chung reviews the fundamentals of HRCT technique, explores key fibrotic patterns including usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), and guides learners through the diagnostic approach to nodular, cystic, and fibrotic lung diseases.
Learn to apply a structured, pattern-based framework for interpreting HRCT, improve accuracy in ILD assessment, and build confidence in diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).
Read alongside Dr. Chung as he walks through his approach to interpreting interstitial lung disease imaging cases like:
