Abstract
Pulmonary interstitial pathology and subsequent diagnosis represent a significant component of pulmonary medical practice [97.9/100000 cases]. Complexity in differential diagnosis is added due to the individual pathological entities’ low prevalence, very similar imaging aspects and individual variations. Current approaches almost always require a multi-disciplinary approach, on a case-by-case basis, with a team of high expertise and experienced medical practitioners. Moreover, human diagnosis error rate is unsuitably high (~20–30%) (Trusculescu et al. in European Radiology 30:6285–6292, 2020), with severe consequences for the patient’s evolution and prognosis. High-resolution computer imaging together with biopsy form the diagnosis foundation, yet often the biopsy is absent, creating the need for accurate diagnosis based solely on visualization. Recent years have proven that a mixture of computer enhancements and medical expertise are a synergistic and precise approach. Computer techniques span two categories: learning and discovery, each working either supervised or unsupervised; however, their output is largely data-centric. A more novel tactic is using visual aids in which data is processed and abstracted in the background, providing helpful hints and concentrated information to allow autonomous human conclusions. The valid and flexible modeling of diffuse interstitial lung diseases (DILD) is especially important in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), in which the accepted computer tomography diagnosis criteria allow extremely diverse individual variations. Current advances strictly structure the criteria, yet the four categories: typical, probable, indeterminate and most consistent with non-UIP (usual interstitial pneumonia) span a vast pattern array. Since IPF has such a dire prognosis (76, 8% mortality rate at 3 years), the need for good pattern recognition and discovery is imperative to allow proper patient management.
