Medical Conditions - Ct Chest

Computed tomography (CT) of the chest uses special X-ray equipment to determine the abnormalities of the chest by producing cross-sectional images of the internal organs. It helps to determine the cause of unexplained cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, and other symptoms. This procedure is painless and non-invasive. It is effective in diagnosing lung cancer in the early stage. It helps to determine tumors of the chest and injuries in the chest, heart, blood vessels, lungs, and spine.
