HRCT Basics of
Usual Interstitial Pneumonia
E-Poster presentation by -
Dr. Vaibhavkumar Vekaria (Resident
doctor)
Under guidance of –
Dr. Nalin G. Patel
Professor & H.O.D. of Radiology dept.
Dr. M.K. Shah Medical college.
(A) UIP pattern
(Given in 2018 update of ATS/ERS classification)
• 1. Honeycombing with or without traction
bronchiectasis (hallmark).
• 2. Reticular abnormality
• 3. The typical sub-pleural and basal
predominance
Honeycombing with sub-pleural and basal
predominance - Definite UIP pattern
Probable UIP pattern
• Absent honeycombing
• Reticular abnormalities
• Peripheral tractional bronchiectasis or
bronchiolectasis
• Typical distribution: Sub-pleural and basal
predominance
• Reticular pattern
• Peripheral bronchiolectasis with sub-pleural & basal
predominance
• Absence of honeycombing.- Probable UIP pattern
Indeterminate for UIP pattern
• Subtle reticular abnormalities with/without
ground glass opacification superimposed on a
fine reticular pattern.
• Non specific distribution
• Does not explicitly suggest an "alternative
diagnosis”.
• Ground-glass opacity
• Subtle reticulation in the subpleural areas
with a basal predominance
- Indeterminate for UIP pattern
Alternative diagnosis for UIP
• Upper or mid lung predominance
• Peri-broncho-vascular or Peri-lymphatic
distribution
• Marked mosaic attenuation
• Predominant ground-glass opacification
• Profuse micro-nodules
• Pleural Effusion
• Pleural Thickening or plaques
Case:
64Y /Male patient
• C/O shortness of breath
• On ambulatory O2 therapy
• H /O chronic bidi smoking
• On lab. Reports – elevated D-DIMER
•Patchy ground glass opacities
•Microcystic honeycombing
•Reticular pattern
•Parenchymal Distortion
•Subpleural and basal distribution
- Fibrotic Usual Interstitial
Pneumonia (UIP) likely
