Why book a CT Scan Chest?

The CT scan chest is for people going through symptoms that indicate chest disorders. It monitors and detects pathological conditions of the lungs and surrounding areas. The test diagnoses lung conditions like lung cancer, lung fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, pleural effusion, etc., and helps determine abnormalities discovered on X-rays.

In addition, the test monitors if tumors are responding to ongoing treatments, and can determine the cause of long-standing symptoms such as breathlessness, thick sputum, cough, and fever.

What all tests are included in the CT Scan Chest?

A Computed Tomography (CT) prepares images of the structure, in this case, the chest organs. These images get combined with the help of software to obtain three-dimensional images of the lungs.

The contrast dye helps analyze and study deeper structures situated within an organ. Therefore a chest CT scan contains two tests: one with a contrast dye and one without it.

What preparation is required for a CT Scan Chest?

You may need to fast for 6-8 hours before the test. You must inform your healthcare expert about your medical history, ongoing medication, and allergies. In case you are pregnant, mention that as well. Remove any jewelry or metallic accessories. In some cases, you may need to wear a hospital gown.

In addition, you must inform the doctor and staff at the center about your implants, pacemaker device, vascular stents, etc.
