    Abstract

    Aim and objectives: To assess the comparative evaluation of chest radiograph and high-resolution computed tomography in diagnosis of interstitial lung disease. Materials and method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Radio-diagnosis, RMCH, Bareilly. X-ray chest PA view and High-Resolution Computed Tomography was done for all the included patients. Results: Female predominance was observed in our study. It was observed that more number of patients with reticular opacities, nodular opacities, septal thickening, honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis and mosaic attenuation were detected in HRCT method compared to X-ray method, the difference amongst the two methods was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Clinical indicators of interstitial lung disease (ILD) are frequently ignored, and its respiratory symptoms are frequently mistaken for those of more prevalent pulmonary disorders like COPD, which delays diagnosis. As a result, HRCT is crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of diffuse lung diseases cases.
