Purpose of Review Interstitial lung disease encompasses variety of entities that have diverse clinical manifestations, prognosis, and treatment options. It is imperative to identify the specific disease early as delays in diagnosis can lead to irreversible damage. Studies demonstrate that treatment with certain medications and avoidance of exposures that potentiate injury can reduce disease progression. Recent Findings The use of high-resolution computed tomography has become essential for the evaluation of interstitial lung disease. Being able to accurately identify the characteristic patterns of abnormalities can lead to expedited diagnosis and has obviated the need of other diagnostic studies such as lung biopsy. High-resolution computed tomography imaging of the chest has changed the approach to the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial lung diseases. Given the numerous entities that compose this group and options for individualized treatment plans, it is imperative for pulmonologists to recognize the defining imaging characteristics.Note
