Interstitial Lung Abnormalities: New Resource - Centre of Research Excellence in Pulmonary Fibrosis

We have just added a new fact sheet on Interstitial Lung Abnormalities (ILAs) to the CRE-PF Patient Resource Library.

ILAs are minor changes on a CT scan of your lungs that may indicate inflammation or scarring, ILAs are not a disease and are not usually associated with any symptoms.

In this fact sheet you will learn:

what ILAs are
who is more likely to develop ILAs and how many people have them
what happens after ILAs are found
what can be done to reduce the risk of an ILA progressing to disease.

Thanks to Lung Foundation Australia and the CRE-PF TEDS Committee for their hard work putting this resource together.
