Popis: Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is considered the "gold" standard radiological method in interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the correlation between two transthoracic lung ultrasound (LUS) scores (total number of B-lines score= the total sum of B-lines in 10 predefined scanning sites and total number of positive chest areas score=intercostal spaces with ≥3B-lines) and the features in HRCT simplified scores, in different interstitial disorders, between LUS scores and symptoms, as well as between LUS scores and pulmonary function impairment. We have evaluated 58 consecutive patients diagnosed with ILD. We demonstrated there was a good correlation between the total number of B-lines score and the HRCT simplified score(r=0.784,p
