Lung CT can detect a number of lesions in the bronchial tubes and lungs as well as the heart, and can also detect chest lesions such as pneumothorax and rib fractures.
There are many types of lung CTs, and different types of CTs are used for different diseases, such as plain CTs, enhanced CTs of the pulmonary vessels, and CTAs of the pulmonary arteries, which can identify narrowing, blockage, and dilatation of the bronchial tubes, as well as fibrosis, inflammation, solid degeneration, cavities, and space occupancy in the lungs.
In addition, CTA of the pulmonary arteries can indicate the presence of vascular embolism, aortic coarctation, and malformations, as well as cardiac lesions such as pericardial effusion and enlargement of the cardiac border.
In addition, lung CT can also detect chest lesions such as pneumothorax and rib fractures.
