Table 5. Key Features according to Different UIP Category on High-Resolution CT with Its Correspondence to ILA/NSIP.

Typical UIP [8, 9] Probable UIP [8, 9] Indeterminate for UIP [8, 9] Most consistent with non-IPF [8, 9]
Basal and subpleural predominant distribution + + −; Variable/diffuse
Heterogeneity + +
Distortion + + Subtle
GGO ± ±
Peripheral traction bronchiectasis or bronchiolectasis + + -
Honeycombing + - -
ILA defined by CT [10] Subpleural Subpleural Non-Subpleural
Fibrotic ILA Non-Fibrotic ILA ILA
NSIP defined by pathology [37] Progressive NSIP Fibrosing NSIP Cellular NSIP

GGO = ground-glass opacities, ILA = interstitial lung abnormality, IPF = idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, NSIP = nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, UIP = usual interstitial pneumonia
