Chest
-
Because chest CT scan has largely supplanted surgical lung biopsy for diagnosing most cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD), tools to standardize CT scan interpretation are urgently needed. ⋯ A DL-based classifier for UIP demonstrated good test performance across a wide range of UIP prevalence and similarly discriminated survival when compared with radiologist-determined UIP. This automated tool could efficiently screen for UIP in patients undergoing chest CT scan and identify a high-risk phenotype among those with known ILD.
