- Abstract
Diagnosis After completing the previous steps of the algorithm, chest CT is required to evaluate parenchymal findings and to diagnose AE-IPF (standardized criteria for AE-IPF mentioned above) [5]. Finally, this algorithm was designed to facilitate the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients with AE-IPF. Treatment There is no specific treatment that has been shown to be effective for AE-IPF.
