Ultrasound Applicability in the Assessment of Patients With Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease
Sponsor: Odense University Hospital
Summary
In this study the investigators want to examine the different ultrasound techniques to assess the patients with lung fibrosis. The investigators want to followup these patients in 1 year to see the changes in lungs, pleura, diaphragm and measurments of overarm and thigh muscles to see that the investigators can identify the patients with lung fibrosis with this methods and monitor the progression. Now a days the CT scan in the lungs needs to monitor these participants, but the investigators want to see the ultrasound can use insted for CT scanning to minitor these pateints. These patient group has very bad prognosis, so it is necessary to identify these patients as early as possible to treatments.
