: Our study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Mansoura Faculty of Medicine, Egypt (IRB ID: R.25.10.3424). All participants provided written consent. Data confidentiality was maintained. The risk to participants was considered minimal, as all HRCT, DLCO, and 6MWT procedures were performed as part of standard, clinically indicated care for COPD patients with suspected ILA, ensuring no additional research-only radiation exposure was incurred.
