Overview

This pictures shows the typical UIP CT findings that includes:

Ground glass opacity with early honeycombing with traction bronchiectasis considered typical for UIP differentiating from NSIP and emphysema.^[1]^[2]

This pictures shows the NSIP CT findings that includes:

Typical of symmetrical sub-pleural involvement.
Dominant irregular linear or reticular opacities symmetrically or diffusely distributed with ground glass background. micro honeycombing can appear in adavnced cases.^[3]^[4]

This pictures shows the NSIP CT findings that includes:

Advanced pulmonary fibrosis with widespread honeycombing, inter and intralobular septal thickening and traction bronchiectasis.
