Description:
AJR articles fulfill educational needs at all practice levels by addressing new research and studies, reviewing standards of care and addressing clinical practice and educational needs. Needs sources for the AJR include clinical practice guidelines, peer-reviewed literature, and expert defined needs.

Objectives:
• Describe the imaging findings on CT that can be used to distinguish connective tissue-associated lung disease from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and
• Determine whether specific CT findings can help differentiate a UIP pattern of CTD-ILD from a UIP pattern of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and whether these signs are associated with survival.
