Survival Analysis for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis using CT Images and Incomplete Clinical Data [PDF]
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is an inexorably progressive fibrotic lung disease with a variable and unpredictable rate of progression. CT scans of the lungs inform clinical assessment of IPF patients and contain pertinent information related to disease progression.

Management of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis [PDF]
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly progressive lung disease without an effective standard treatment approach. Because of the complexity and uncertainties of IPF treatment, therapeutic decisions need to be tailored to the individual patient, after discussing the potential benefits and pitfalls.

Airway measurement by refinement of synthetic images improves mortality prediction in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Several chronic lung diseases, like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are characterised by abnormal dilatation of the airways. Quantification of airway features on computed tomography (CT) can help characterise disease progression. Physics based airway measurement algorithms have been developed, but have met with limited success in part due to the ...

Recent advances in understanding idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Despite major research efforts leading to the recent approval of pirfenidone and nintedanib, the dismal prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains unchanged.
