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
Helps detect pneumonia, tuberculosis, fungal infections, and other pulmonary 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)
Evaluates structural changes associated with chronic respiratory diseases.
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.

सामान्यतः इस जांच के लिए फास्टिंग की आवश्यकता नहीं होती। यदि डॉक्टर ने कोई विशेष निर्देश दिए हों, तो उनका पालन करें।
जांच से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं, जब तक डॉक्टर अन्यथा सलाह न दें।
यदि आपको पहले से फेफड़ों की कोई बीमारी है, छाती की सर्जरी हुई है, कोई एलर्जी है, कोई पुरानी बीमारी है या आप कोई दवा ले रहे हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर या रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
जांच के दिन आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा छाती के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएँ जैसे आभूषण, चेन, धातु वाले कपड़े या अंडरवायर ब्रा हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर या रेडियोग्राफर को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो अपनी पुरानी चेस्ट एक्स-रे, CT/HRCT स्कैन, पल्मोनरी फंक्शन टेस्ट (PFT) रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिपोर्ट साथ लेकर आएं।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
You will be asked to lie comfortably on the CT scan table.
The radiographer will position you correctly, and the table will move slowly through the CT scanner.
