An update of the international multidisciplinary classification of the interstitial pneumonias. Eur Respir J. 2025;66:2500158. IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS Outputs are educational morphology suggestions based only on user-selected imaging features. They may be incomplete or incorrect. Educational rankings do not replace multidisciplinary discussion, radiology or pathology review, institutional protocols, or independent clinical judgement. Numeric scores are an educational approximation of qualitative guideline language and have not been validated against patient cohorts. Fit badges reflect educational morphology alignment — not ERS/ATS multidisciplinary diagnostic confidence percentages. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Payment charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ILD Patterns at none against Respiratory Notes's shown. Respiratory Notes's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
