NSIP Occurs as idiopathic condition No longer provisional diagnosis Can occur in variety of settings such as: Collagen vascular disease Hypersensitivity pneumonitis Drug toxicity Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 177. pp , 2008 Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 177. pp ,

14 HP: CT Imaging 1 HP: CT Imaging 2 Acute Fibrinous Organizing pneumonia Can be idiopathic, or occur in CVD, HP, or drug reaction, or with eosinophilic pneumonia. HRCT findings of bibasilar opacities and consolidation. Within the clinical spectrum between DAD, and OP. Acute Fibrinous Organizing pneumonia Summary END IIPs are classified based on histologic criteria, but correlate with imaging findings In many cases, final diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach between clinicians, radiologists and pathologists HRCT is indicated in all patients with IIP UIP must be differentiated from all other IIPs because of its markedly poorer prognosis 14
