Art of NSIP

Imaging Manifestations of  NSIP
Broncho vascular distribution associated with peripheral sparing, ground glass changes, reticulations, and volume loss, dominantly in the lower lobes but to some extent in the middle lobe and upper lobes

Cellular NSIP

Imaging Manifestations of  Fibrotic NSIP
Broncho vascular distribution associated with increased reticular changes, more prominent traction bronchiectasis, decreased lung volumes , and decreased lung volumes,  dominantly in the lower lobes but to some extent in the middle lobe and upper lobes.  Pulmonary hypertension becomes more common.

Position and Nature of NSIP
Broncho vascular and inter- alveolar interstitial fibrosis dominantly in the lower lobes but affecting the middle and upper lobes to lesser extent resulting in bronchiectasis and reticulations.  The overall increase in density results in ground glass changes
