Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis: correlation between radiological progression criteria and pulmonary function tests

With the increasing use of antifibrotic therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in non-IPF interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), radiological evaluation has become essential for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring disease progression [1].
