A CT Chest + HRCT (High-Resolution Computed Tomography) scan is a computed tomography (CT) scan that provides detailed imaging of the lungs, airways, and chest structures.
This scan is commonly used to:

  • Detect lung diseases – Pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), sarcoidosis
  • Evaluate chronic lung conditions – COPD, bronchiectasis, emphysema
  • Assess lung infections – Pneumonia, tuberculosis, fungal infections
  • Detect lung cancer or tumors – Early screening or diagnosis
  • Check for asbestos-related lung disease – Asbestosis and pleural thickening
  • Investigate unexplained shortness of breath – Identify causes related to lung structure
  • Assess lung scarring or inflammation – Post-COVID fibrosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis

HRCT (High-Resolution CT) provides highly detailed imaging of lung tissues and is specifically used for diagnosing lung parenchymal diseases (diseases affecting the small air sacs and lung structure).

 CT Chest (Plain) captures broader chest structures (lungs, bones, and mediastinum), making it useful for general lung and chest evaluations.
