Abstrakt: The article discusses the alternative way of classifying idiopathic interstitial pneumonias based on pathological and radiological conditions. In terms of pathology, it can be classified by purely cellular processes, processes that show the type of linear fibrosis and the process that demonstrates the fibrotic architectural distortion. While radiological findings classify them based on airspace opacification without reticulation including the cryptogenic organizing pneumonia.
