Spectrum of high-resolution computed tomography pattern in lungs in patients with connective tissue disorders.

Background: Connective tissue disease associated with interstitial lung disease, or CT-ILD, is a lung condition that affects a large number of patients with a connective tissue disease.

Objective: Our aim in this study is to correlation between images of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of different connective tissue diseases associated interstitial lung diseases (CTD-ILDs).

Methods: We shall be aiming to investigate the feasibility of HRCT imaging and thereby avoid lung biopsy in such patients.
