Overview

Many times, a CT scan is ordered by a doctor after noticing something abnormal in an X-ray. Although the CT scan cannot give a definitive diagnosis, it is helpful in the evaluation of lung diseases and conditions such as pneumonia, cancer, blood clots or damage caused by smoking. The analysis of the literature shows three important points: the chest X-ray has low diagnostic value; the CT scan of the chest can reveal lesions that cannot be detected on a standard chest X-ray

In this video, Dr. Hiren Panwala talks about CT scans and various Respiratory Disorders. He discusses the indications of CT scan, various CT scan Techniques, Anatomy of Lungs and Mediastinum, Common patterns on High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) lung.
