Quantification of Ground Glass Opacities Can Be Useful to Describe Disease Activity in Systemic Sclerosis

Quantification of Ground Glass Opacities Can Be Useful to Describe Disease Activity in Systemic Sclerosis

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the main cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. Usually, patients have lung involvement characterized by ground glass opacities (GGOs), but honeycombing (HC) is also possible. The Wells score is a semi-quantitative index, which is able to assess ILD b...
