Test Code

HRCT Chest is a specialized CT scan technique designed to provide highly detailed images of the lung parenchyma and airways. It is commonly used to diagnose interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, and other chronic lung conditions. Unlike routine CT chest scans, HRCT uses thin-slice imaging to detect subtle lung abnormalities with greater clarity. This scan is often recommended for patients with persistent cough, breathlessness, abnormal chest X-ray findings, or suspected lung disease. HRCT Chest is a non-invasive procedure, does not require contrast dye, and involves controlled radiation exposure when clinically indicated.
