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.
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.
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 ...
Case Discussion. These findings are consistent with UIP pattern. UIP has distinctive HRCT findings. If the UIP pattern is of unknown cause (i.e. idiopathic), the disease is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
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 ...
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common and lethal of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, is defined by a radiological and/or pathological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).
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...
Jun 27, 2023 · 1. Distinguish UIP from IPF 2. Review histologic and imaging patterns of UIP; review updated 2022 ATS criteria diagnosis for IPF. 3. Explore the differential diagnosis for UIP and associated imaging findings including IPF, connective tissue disease, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asbestosis, vasculitis, familial pulmonary fibrosis, and drug ...
Mar 22, 2024 · Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a histopathologic and radiologic pattern of interstitial lung disease, which is the hallmark pattern for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). On imaging, usual interstitial pneumonia usually presents with a...
