Computer-aided quantification of interstitial lung disease from high resolution computed tomography images in systemic sclerosis: correlation with visual reader-based score and physiologic tests.

The computerized-aided scores showed a moderate to highly significant negative correlation with forced vital capacity (FVC) ( r = −0.490; P < 0.0001), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) ( r = −0.675; P < 0.0001) and the single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung (DLco) ( r = −0.653; P < 0.0001) ( Figure 3 ). 3.3.
