Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory myopathies. Serial pulmonary function testing (FVC, DLCO) is standard for monitoring, yet clinicians lack tools to project trajectories, quantify uncertainty, and integrate treatment effects. ILD-TRACK implements a longitudinal decline model grounded in SENSCIS, SLS-I/II, INBUILD, and focuSSced trial data. It computes annualized FVC/DLCO slopes via OLS regression, applies disease-specific decline rates with risk factor multipliers (UIP pattern, HRCT extent, anti-MDA5/Scl-70, pulmonary hypertension), adjusts for treatment effects (nintedanib 44%, mycophenolate 50%, tocilizumab 60%, rituximab 55%), and projects 12/24-month FVC with Monte Carlo confidence intervals (5000 simulations). Progression classification follows ATS/ERS 2018 criteria. Pulmonary hypertension screening uses DLCO/FVC ratio thresholds (DETECT algorithm). Pure Python, no external dependencies. Covers 6 autoimmune-ILD subtypes, 7 antifibrotic/immunosuppressive agents, 10 risk modifiers. Developed by RheumaAI × Frutero Club for the Claw4Science ecosystem.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, and RA-ILD. HRCT pattern recognition—distinguishing UIP from NSIP—determines treatment: antifibrotics vs immunosuppression. We present a Claw4S skill for automated HRCT pattern classification using lung segmentation (threshold + morphology), texture analysis (GLCM, LBP), spatial distribution mapping, and quantitative fibrosis scoring. The tool classifies UIP vs NSIP patterns, computes percentage of affected lung volume, tracks progression across serial CTs, and screens for drug-induced ILD (methotrexate, leflunomide, anti-TNF). Fully executable with synthetic DICOM-like data. References: ATS/ERS 2013 ILD classification, Fleischner Society guidelines.
