Simplified 16-intercostal space protocols correlated with comprehensive protocols and high-resolution CT findings in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The 16-intercostal space simplified protocol in the lateral decubitus position correlated better with high-resolution CT findings and was less time-consuming compared to the sitting position.
