Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The classic chest radiographic findings in ILD are primarily caused by IPF, which is the most common type of ILD. Asbestosis and berylliosis are specific types of ILD caused by exposure to asbestos and beryllium respectively, and may have slightly different radiographic findings. Sarcoidosis can also cause ILD, but its radiographic findings are often more variable and may include hilar lymphadenopathy.
