Abstract
Lung involvement is the most frequent cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). As lung involvement is frequently asymptomatic, the current recommendation is to carry out thoracic computed tomography (CT) in all patients newly diagnosed with SSc. There is currently disagreement on how patients with SSc for whom no lung involvement was found at the time of diagnosis, should be followed up. Based on a consensus of Austrian rheumatologists, pneumologists and radiologists it is recommended that for asymptomatic patients with a negative CT at the time of initial diagnosis, a transthoracic ultrasound examination should be carried out annually and a lung function examination every 6-12 months. In the presence of a positive lung ultrasound finding a supplementary CT for further clarification is recommended. Based on the data situation, annual CT follow-up controls are recommended for patients with a high risk as defined by appropriate risk factors.Entities:

| Çakir Edis et al. (2016) [ | ≥ 3 B‑Linien in einer Region oder > 5 B‑Linien in benachbarten Regionen werden als positiv bewertet. Ein kompletter „White screen“ in einer Region wird als 10 B‑Linien gewertet |
| Tardella et al. (2017) [ | Wenige B‑Linien werden einzeln gezählt. Sind diese jedoch konfluierend, wird nach der semiquantitativen Auswertung nach Gargani und Volpicelli ausgewertet, das bedeutet, der Prozentsatz an vorhandenen B‑Linien wird durch 10 dividiert (z. B. 30 % eines „White screen“ korrespondiert zu 3 B‑Linien, 40 % zu 4 B‑Linien und so weiter) |
| Hassan et al. (2019) [ | B‑Linien werden gezählt und ausgewertet nach dem Score von Picano et al. |
