Characteristic signs of interstitial lung disease can be identified by analysis of roentgenographic patterns of lung structure. Intralobular changes are visible only due to summation effects whereas extralobular changes render direct visibility. Different interstitial diseases show roentgenographic patterns which often become more marked during follow-up films.
