Lung CT, including High-Resolution CT (HRCT), is the most effective imaging tool for diagnosing and monitoring lung conditions. It provides detailed cross-sectional images that help evaluate both common and complex lung diseases.
Why it matters
This test is essential for detecting lung nodules, interstitial lung disease, emphysema, infections, and lung cancer at an early stage. Low-dose CT is also widely used for lung cancer screening in high-risk patients, allowing early intervention and better outcomes.
What it means for you
Lung CT offers reassurance by identifying problems at the earliest, most treatable stage. Whether it’s explaining unexplained symptoms or monitoring long-term conditions, it ensures nothing important is overlooked.
