Colerration between pulmonary functions and HRCT chest in stagging of interstitial lung diseases?

There are guidelines set for the staging of ILD's in relation to pulmonary function test results, I believe through the American College Of Chest Physicians. I think mostly based on FVC, Fev1, FEV 25%-75%, and a DLCo using a full body box.

As far as the High Res CT scan, I don't have a clue other than you can see the disease process on the scan.
