Title: Early diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with high-resolution CT and cardiorespirtory exercise test

For this purpose, 26 IPF patients were divided into early-stage (13 cases) and non early-stage(13 cases) and HRCT and cardiorespiratory exercise test were performed on all the patients. Ground-glass opacity, interlobular septal thickening were the main appearances in early-stage of IPF. Septal thickening, abnormal of bronchus vascular bundles, subpleural cure line, honeycombing lung were the main appearances in early-stage of IPF. Indexes of the cardiorespiratory exercise showed significant differences in the control group, early-stage of IPF group and early-stage of IPF group. HRCT and cardiorespiratory exercise test could significantly raise the early diagnostic level of IPF.Read More
