Abstract
The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are a group of inflammatory and fibrosing pulmonary conditions that share many clinical, radiologic, and histologic similarities. Radiologic evaluation can often help to make a more confident diagnosis of these conditions and may help in their management. Several specific radiologic findings can suggest a single best diagnosis or can help to differentiate between similar conditions. Imaging findings can also have important prognostic implications or identify complications. This review discusses the role of radiologic findings in the setting of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
