A feasibility study of a short lung ultrasound protocol as a screening method for fibrotic interstitial lung disease
Preliminary results suggest a role of ultrasound to detect peripheral manifestations of fibrotic ILDs, such as reticulation and honeycombing. This assessment protocol can be adopted effectively by clinicians, such as rheumatologists, to evaluate lung involvement by CTDs. A larger study is necessary to achieve more robust and generalizable results as a screening tool.
