Diagnostic approach to the patient with diffuse lung disease Ryu JH; Olson EJ; Midthun DE; Swensen SJMayo Clin Proc 2002[Nov]; 77 (11): 1221-7; quiz 1227Detecting diffuse lung infiltrates on chest radiography is a common clinical problem. Many diverse pathological processes can cause diffuse lung disease. The presentation of these diseases can vary from acute to chronic and includes a side array of radiological patterns that are optimally evaluated on high-resolution computed tomography of the chest. In diagnosing diffuse lung disease, it is helpful to focus on a few pivotal parameters to narrow the broad differential diagnosis. We describe the diagnostic approach to a patient with diffuse lung disease usingthe following key parameters: tempo of the pathological process, characteristics of the radiological pattern, and clinical context.|Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia/diagnosis/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Diseases, Interstitial/diagnosis/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Pulmonary Fibrosis/diagnosis/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Radiographic Image Enhancement/*methods[MESH]|Sensitivity and Specificity[MESH]|Severity of Illness Index[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed/*methods[MESH] |
