Small airway involvement in interstitial lung disease: radiologic evidence

High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has considerably improved the ability to diagnose and characterize interstitial lung disease (ILD). This paper assesses the role of HRCT in evaluating small airway disease associated with ILD particularly sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and inter...
