Abstract
The increased sensitivity and specificity of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has allowed medical imaging to become an essential part of the diagnosis and management of interstitial lung disease (ILD). ILD is a common finding of many different collagen vascular diseases (CVDs) especially rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma. As our understanding of CVD-associated ILD (CVD-ILD) improves, HRCT becomes an increasingly important tool for diagnosis and management.
Keywords: Acute interstitial pneumonia, collagen vascular disease, high-resolution computed tomography, interstitial lung disease, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, organizing pneumonia, usual interstitial pneumonia.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
