2022, Radiologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The chest radiograph is the most commonly performed respiratory imaging investigation worldwide, providing a single image overview of the entire thorax. In both children and adults, the sensitivity of chest radiography to ILD is lower than that of CT, with normal radiographic appearances of ChILD at initial presentation variably reported in 10% to 42% of children with later proven ILD.15,16 However, it is often the radiographic appearance that leads to further more sensitive and specific cross-sectional imaging evaluation of ChILD.15,16
ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Diffuse Lung Disease
2021, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Several DLDs demonstrate temporal evolution of their imaging findings on HRCT, which allows for a more specific diagnosis on follow-up imaging than on initial imaging [9,27,59-64,67,68,72,73,76,142,145,147,150,153,154]. Numerous studies support the increased sensitivity and specificity of CT over chest radiography for lung parenchymal changes related to DLD [38-51]. There is no research to support the use of CT with IV contrast for follow-up imaging of DLD; however, IV contrast may be of use in evaluation of alternative diagnosis with overlapping clinical features or conditions that also involve the pleura, mediastinum, and pulmonary vessels (see the ACR Appropriateness Criteria topics on “Chronic Dyspnea-Noncardiovascular Origin” [6], “Noninvasive Clinical Staging of Primary Lung Cancer” [5], and “Suspected Pulmonary Embolism” [84]).
Overview on Radiologic Patterns in Interstitial Lung Disease
2021, Encyclopedia of Respiratory Medicine, Second EditionDetection of secondary causes of spontaneous pneumothorax: Comparison between computed tomography and chest X-ray
2020, Diagnostic and Interventional ImagingCitation Excerpt :The concordance between chest X-ray and thoracic CT was moderate for the detection of masses or nodules, mediocre for the detection of emphysema and alveolar opacities, and poor for the detection of interstitial syndrome. Similar results were observed by Padley et al. in the diagnosis of chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease in 86 patients [13]. Of the patients with normal findings on chest X-ray, 42% exhibited diffuse infiltrative lung disease on CT.
