Nomogram models integrating multiregion radiomics, quantitative computed tomography, and clinical indicators for distinguishing connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and improving the prediction of gender-age-physiology stage
Background Accurate diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD), along with assessment of the interstitial lung disease gender-age-physiology (ILD-GAP) index, is crucial for formulating effective therapeutic interventions. The aim of this...
