ROLE OF HRCT IN ASSESSMENT OF LUNG DISEASES
Dr. Abhishek Jaiswal*, Dr. Syed Zubair Ayoub
ABSTRACT
HRCT is currently the best modality for evaluation of large and small airways disease and diffuse interstitial lung diseases thus improving the diagnostic accuracy and specificity.[1] HRCT is more sensitive in differentiating normal from abnormal lung parenchyma. It can also characterize diseases into interstitial, airway, and airspace processes. It is more sensitive in detecting abnormalities, providing better information and a more accurate differentiation between different pathologies than the chest radiograph and conventional CT. All these reasons explain the increasing use of this technique in the investigation and evaluation of many lung disorders.
