The purpose of this exhibit is to provide an illustrated overview of the update of the 2002 ATS/ERS international multidisciplinary classification of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias with an emphasis upon what the radiologist needs to know in order to successfully contribute to the multidisciplinary strategic management of the patients. The major teaching points: 1. Substantial progress has been made in idiopathic interstitial pneumonias since the previous classification. 2. A group of rare entities, including pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis and rare histologic patterns, is introduced. 3. Unusual manifestation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias and important differential diagnostic considerations will be reviewed. 4. The accurate classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias is best done with a collaborative approach between clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists.  

1. Summary of major revisions of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias classification 2. Multidisciplinary approach for idiopathic interstitial pneumonias 3. Progress in specific idiopathic interstitial pneumonias since 2002 4. Clinical classification of disease behavior 5. Unusual manifestation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias and important differential diagnostic considerations
