A Study of a Computer-Aided Analysis Tool for the Assessment of Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a new computer-aided analysis tool in identifying treatment response in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Computer-Aided Lung Informatics for Pathology Evaluation and Ratings (CALIPER) is  an image analysis tool for characterizing and measuring mixed parenchymal diseases such as emphysema and interstitial lung diseases and has been shown to correlate with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis mortality.
