Lung ultrasound for assessing disease progression in UIP and NSIP: a comparative study with HRCT and PFT/DLCO
LUS shows promise as a sensitive, radiation-free alternative to HRCT in monitoring the severity of UIP. It is particularly valuable in predicting the extent of lung involvement and severe DLCO impairment in UIP patients but has limited application in NSIP.
