The world-class Computed Tomography (CT) and High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) centres enable our physicians to obtain detailed images of the lungs and chest, as they are not exposed to any contrast material, helping them to make an accurate diagnosis of lung infections, interstitial lung disease, lung fibrosis, lung nodules, chronic respiratory disorders, and abnormalities in the chest. With the latest cutting-edge CT imaging technology, our skilled imaging professionals provide patients with the highest quality imaging and reporting immediately to allow for the fastest possible diagnosis and treatment plan.

About CT Chest (Plain) / HRCT Chest

A non-contrast imaging body scan that can shed light on the structure of the chest is called CT Chest (Plain) / HRCT Chest. HRCT (High Resolution Computed Tomography) provides even finer resolution of lung tissue and is quite helpful in evaluating diffuse lung diseases and chronic respiratory disease.

 

The scan clearly visualises the lungs, bronchi, pleura, mediastinum, trachea, chest wall and thoracic lymph nodes as well as other thoracic structures. The advanced CT scanners used to make these high-resolution images aim to aid doctors in the early detection and degree assessment of chest diseases at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.

What is CT Chest (Plain) / HRCT Chest?

CT Chest (Plain) / HRCT Chest: This is an imaging procedure which provides detailed X-ray information of the chest without dye being injected into the veins, using advanced computer technology. With thinner slices, HRCT is highly desirable for the resolution it provides for lung tissue; most lung diseases, such as chronic lung diseases, are more easily visible, and in situations where the patient is experiencing some unexplained symptoms associated with the respiratory tract. This examination is usually ordered in a patient who is still coughing, has shortness of breath, and has some defects seen on their chest X-ray, or a person who is suspected of having a lung disease.

Common Reasons for CT Chest (Plain) / HRCT Chest

  • Persistent cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest pain
  • Evaluation of lung infections
  • Suspected interstitial lung disease
  • Assessment of pulmonary fibrosis
  • Detection of lung nodules
  • Follow-up of chronic lung diseases
  • Abnormal chest X-ray findings

Conditions Evaluated

Lung Infections

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Provides detailed evaluation of scarring and inflammation affecting the lung tissue.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Assesses the extent of lung fibrosis and structural changes.

Lung Nodules and Masses

Helps detect and evaluate pulmonary nodules, lung masses, and other abnormalities.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Bronchiectasis

Detects abnormal widening and damage of the airways.

Pleural Disorders

Assesses pleural thickening, pleural effusion, and other abnormalities affecting the lining of the lungs.
