pubmed:abstractText |
In the last 30 years, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has been the major advance in diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD). We review the diagnostic accuracy of HRCT and discuss how the gold standard in diagnosis of DPLD has shifted from histopathological diagnosis in isolation to a multidisciplinary approach. This latter process is now accepted as providing the highest levels of diagnostic accuracy in patients with DPLD and lung biopsy is primarily reserved for cases with atypical clinical or radiological presentations.
