Abstract: My work has focused on identifying, characterizing, and risk-stratifying interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA), which are incidental findings on chest CT suggestive of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Given that antifibrotic therapy can reduce progression, even in patients with less severe disease, there is more urgency to detect pulmonary fibrosis at an early stage. The hope is that studying ILA will allow a better understanding of the development and progression of ILD in its early stages with the ultimate goal of preventing more advanced forms of pulmonary fibrosis.
