Individual participant examples of histopathologic patterns and associated interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) on computed tomography (CT). (A1–C4) Each lettered panel represents a different participant. A1 shows an axial CT image with a pulmonary nodule (pink arrow). A2 shows an axial CT image superior to the nodule demonstrating subpleural predominant ILA (green arrows). A3 is a histologic sample demonstrating subpleural fibrosis (black arrow), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain (scale bar, 2,500 μm). B1 shows an axial CT image with a pulmonary nodule (pink arrow). B2 is an axial CT image superior to the nodule demonstrating centrilobular predominant ILA (green arrows). B3 is a histologic sample demonstrating atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (asterisk), H&E stain (scale bar, 500 μm). C1 shows an axial CT image with a pulmonary nodule (pink arrow). C2 is an axial CT image superior to the nodule demonstrating subpleural predominant ILA (green arrows). C3 is a histologic sample demonstrating an isolated fibroblast focus (black arrow), H&E stain (scale bar, 50 μm). C4 is a histologic view demonstrating usual interstitial pneumonia with honeycomb space (asterisks) and fibroblastic foci (black arrows), H&E stain (scale bar, 500 μm).
