restrictive

they don't tell you difference in ILDs
2. What types of imaging studies are most useful in the evaluation of interstitial lung diseases and how might findings help in your differential diagnosis?
start with CXR

diffuse - hypersensitivity pneumonitis
upper lobe - silicosis
base - asbestosis
lymph node involvement - sarcoidosis

then do HRCT to give you more information (like honeycomb lungs)

known causes (with fibrosis or granuloma formation) and unknown causes (with fibrosis or granuloma formation)
What are the most common physical exam findings and clinical symptoms for interstitial lung diseases and how do they usually differ between different etiologies?
PFTs are usually the same; sx's are usually the same; dyspnea, dry cough, fatigue; clubbing is potential; rales (crackles); exercise desaturation

chronic - silicosis, asbestosis
episodic - hypersensitivity pneumonitis
what is the most common epidemiology and clinical presentation of sarcoidosis?
epi = black females <40 y/o

presentation = asymptomatic with an abnormal CXR
