HRCT Chest is different from a regular chest x-ray in that it uses a high dose of radiation and a more advanced technique that produces more detailed images of the lungs and chest. The test is often used to diagnose and evaluate a variety of lung conditions such as interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and lung cancer.
During an HRCT Chest, the patient lies on a table that slides into a large, doughnut-shaped machine called a CT scanner. The machine uses a rotating X-ray beam and a computer to create detailed images of the chest. The Procedure of HRCT Chest take few minutes to complete. However, it is important to follow any preparation instructions given by the healthcare provider, such as fasting or avoiding certain medications, to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
