HRCT Chest/Thorax (Inspiration + Expiration) is a specialized high-resolution CT examination that evaluates the lungs during inspiration and expiration, helping detect interstitial lung disease, air trapping, small-airway abnormalities, fibrosis, emphysema, and other subtle pulmonary changes for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Disclaimer: Result availability is subject to the laboratory's schedule and test availability.
Air trapping may indicate small-airway disease or obstructive airway abnormalities and can be difficult to identify on inspiratory images alone.
It may help assess interstitial lung disease, small-airway disease, bronchiolitis, air trapping, mosaic attenuation, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and other diffuse or subtle lung abnormalities.
Yes. HRCT is particularly useful for identifying and characterizing fibrotic changes in the lungs, including their distribution and pattern.
Usually, no special preparation is required for a routine non-contrast HRCT chest examination. Follow any specific instructions provided by the diagnostic centre.
