Diagnostic Radiology/Chest Imaging/Interstitial Disease

List and identify on a chest radiograph and chest CT four patterns of interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Make a specific diagnosis of ILD when supportive findings are present in the history or on radiologic imaging (e.g. dilated esophagus and ILD in scleroderma, enlarged heart and a pacemaker or defibrillator in a patient with prior sternotomy and ILD suggesting amiodarone drug toxicity)
Identify Kerley A and B lines on a chest radiograph and explain their etiology
Recognize the changes of congestive heart failure on a chest radiograph - enlarged cardiac silhouette, pleural effusions, vascular redistribution, interstitial and/or alveolar edema, Kerley lines
Define the terms ìasbestos-related pleural diseaseî and ìasbestosis;î identify each on a chest radiograph and chest CT
Describe what a "B" reader is as related to the evaluation of pneumoconiosis
Identify honeycombing on a radiograph and high resolution chest CT (HRCT), state the significance of this finding (end-stage lung disease), and list the common causes of honeycomb lung
State the radiographic classification of sarcoidosis
Recognize progressive massive fibrosis/conglomerate masses secondary to silicosis or coal worker's pneumoconiosis on radiography and chest CT
Recognize the typical appearance of irregular lung cysts and/or nodules on chest CT of a patient with Langerhanís cell histiocytosis
List four causes of unilateral ILD
List three causes of lower lobe predominant ILD
List two causes of upper lobe predominant ILD
Identify a secondary pulmonary lobule on HRCT
Identify lymphangioleiomyomatosis on a chest radiograph and HRCT
Identify and give appropriate differential diagnoses when the patterns of septal thickening, perilymphatic nodules, bronchiolar opacities ("tree-in-bud"), air trapping, cysts, and ground glass opacities are seen on HRCT
