Interstitial lung disease rewards residents who can link imaging, physiology and clinical features. The sample titles correlate HRCT fibrosis scores with FVC and DLCO, use exertional desaturation on walk tests, classify aetiology through multidisciplinary discussion, look for connective tissue disease, follow acute exacerbations, and track the evolution of post-COVID lung changes.
HRCT should be reported by one radiologist using an agreed scoring method, and DLCO availability often decides whether a study is possible. Multidisciplinary discussion needs willing rheumatology and radiology colleagues. Longitudinal studies require patients to return for repeat tests, and post-COVID questions are now limited by how many patients remain under follow-up.

4Tips for a Interstitial Lung Disease thesis
- Classify ILD subtypes according to ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT guidelines, and record the usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on HRCT using the standard diagnostic categories.
- Perform the six-minute walk test as per ATS guidance with continuous oximetry, recording distance, nadir saturation and Borg dyspnoea score.
- Screen for connective tissue disease with ANA, rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP, adding extended myositis panels where clinical clues such as mechanic's hands suggest them.
