Artificial intelligence for lung disease quantification in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease and other connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease
Purpose of review Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of disease-related mortality in systemic sclerosis and the connective tissue disease-associated ILD (CTD-ILD) in which artificial intelligence imaging has advanced most rapidly. Visual high-resolution CT (HRCT) scoring is reader-dependent and limits clinical decision-making. This review summarizes clinically relevant artificial intelligence and radiomics publications from approximately the last 18 months, foc…
In systemic sclerosis-associated ILD, AI-based HRCT quantification stratifies FVC decline and long-term survival and correlates with lung function measures to predict mortality.
Visual HRCT scoring remains reader-dependent and AI outputs lack prospective multicenter validation and protocol harmonization needed to serve as treatment-triggering biomarkers.
Prospective multicenter validation, protocol harmonization, calibration, and integration into multidisciplinary discussion are still required before AI outputs can be used as treatment-triggering biomarkers.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1048 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
