CT Features of Lung Disease in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis: Comparison with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia

Abstract

Interstitial lung disease in patients with SSc is less extensive, less coarse, and characterized by a greater proportion of ground-glass opacification than that in patients with IPF. The CT features of lung disease in patients with SSc closely resemble those in patients with idiopathic NSIP.
