Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

March 23, 2020 updated by: Dr. Frederik Trinkmann, Universitätsmedizin Mannheim
Current diagnostic tools used in interstitial lung disease (ILD) do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of this heterogenous group. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with various ILDs.
