About CECT Chest & HRCT
The CECT Chest is a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest that creates detailed images, and a High-Resolution CT Scan generates thin images of the lungs. These are combined to give an overall assessment of the lungs and other structures in the chest. The advanced CT technology enables radiologists to diagnose lung and chest disease.
What is CECT Chest & HRCT?
CECT Chest & HRCT is a non-invasive imaging examination, which is the combination of a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the chest and high-resolution computed tomography of the lungs. It assists in the evaluation of the lungs, airways, pleura, lymph nodes, blood vessels, and chest wall. An agent for enhancing visualization of the blood vessels, lymph nodes, masses, etc, and other abnormalities.
