Jun 16, 2024 · Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is not a disease, it is a histopathologic and radiologic pattern of interstitial lung disease. This can be caused by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis or non-specific interstitial pneumonia. The diagnosis is typically decided by a multidisciplinary team. Terminology.
Jun 19, 2024 · This helps radiologists to determine the certainty of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) diagnosis based on HRCT chest findings. The importance of this guideline is that (definite) UIP pattern on chest HRCT precludes the need for tissue diagnosis 1,2,5.
Jul 1, 2005 · Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias comprise usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), respiratory bronchiolitis–associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), and lymphoid interstitial ...
Nov 15, 2017 · A usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on chest CT scans is highly suggestive of UIP pathologic findings; the most common cause of UIP is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [1–5]. Under current guidelines, a UIP pattern on CT images is specific for IPF after a thorough clinical and serologic workup has excluded other causes of ...
Jun 19, 2024 · The 2018 revised diagnostic HRCT criteria for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern published by the American Thoracic Society, the European Respiratory Society, the Japanese Respiratory Society, and the Latin American Thoracic Association has converged to a similar categorization of the HRCT findings into four groups. Typical UIP CT pattern.
Extensive pulmonary fibrosis characterized by peripheral inter and intralobular septal thickening, traction bronchiectasis, and micro and macrocytic honeycombing. These demonstrate a relative craniocaudal gradient of distribution.
May 14, 2018 · Imaging Appearance: Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a radiologic and pathologic pattern of chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia. On high-resolution CT, it classically presents as basilar and sub-pleural predominant reticulation and traction bronchiectasis.
Feb 28, 2022 · A pathologic or radiologic diagnosis of UIP is required for the clinical/multidisciplinary diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) but it has also been described in several...
The radiological patterns of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) described in the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guidelines are like those described in a statement from the Fleischner Society ; however, the two documents make seemingly different recommendations about whether to perform surgical lung biopsy (SLB) in patients with the radiological probable UIP ...
A usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on chest CT scans is highly suggestive of UIP pathologic findings; the most common cause of UIP is idiopathic pulmo-nary fibrosis (IPF) [1–5]. Under current guidelines, a UIP pattern on CT images is specific for IPF after a thorough clinical and serologic workup has excluded other causes
