Lung enhancement ct is primarily used to check for lung tumors as well as pulmonary vascular disease. It is a test used when the patient’s condition cannot be clearly seen or evaluated by normal CT.
Usually, when a nodule or mass grows in the lung, it is difficult to determine the nature of the tumor, and it is impossible to determine whether it is malignant or benign, so it is necessary to do a lung enhancement CT scan to make a preliminary judgment. Usually, the enhancement of benign tumors is not obvious, while the enhancement of malignant tumors is more obvious.
Usually, when pulmonary vascular disease such as pulmonary embolism occurs, lung enhancement CT can observe that the pulmonary artery and its branches have track-like defects and the distal end is not visualized, thus confirming the diagnosis of pulmonary artery embolism.
In addition to the above two diseases, lung enhancement CT can also detect lung inflammation and tuberculosis. All of these diseases can be detected by lung enhancement CT.
