Summary

This study tests whether a less invasive, ultrasound-guided lung biopsy can safely diagnose interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to standard surgical biopsy. Fifteen adults with ILD will receive both procedures to compare safety and sample quality. If successful, this approach could offer a safer, outpatient alternative for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
