Interstitial Lung Disease Assessment

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Assessment involves evaluating lung health to diagnose and monitor lung conditions that affect the tissue between the air sacs in the lungs. This assessment typically includes a combination of medical history review, physical examination, imaging tests like chest X-rays or CT scans, and lung function tests. The goal is to identify any damage or inflammation in the lung tissue, determine the cause of the symptoms, and guide treatment options. It helps health professionals understand how well the lungs are working and to formulate an appropriate management plan for the patient's condition.
