ObjectivesObjectives
• Identify current clinical indications Identify current clinical indications for the use of HRCTfor the use of HRCT
• Review proper technique forReview proper technique for performance of HRCTperformance of HRCT
• Summarize the characteristic Summarize the characteristic patterns of abnormality seen on patterns of abnormality seen on HRCT and the most commonHRCT and the most common diseases resulting in their formationdiseases resulting in their formation
HRCT - IndicationHRCT - Indication
• Evaluation of patients with Evaluation of patients with suspected infiltrative lung suspected infiltrative lung disease but normal or disease but normal or nonspecific findings on CXRnonspecific findings on CXR
HRCT - IndicationHRCT - Indication
• Further characterization of Further characterization of known or suspected diffuse known or suspected diffuse lung diseaselung disease
HRCT - IndicationHRCT - Indication
• Evaluation of patients in whomEvaluation of patients in whom radiographic findings are not radiographic findings are not in keeping with clinical findings in keeping with clinical findings or pulmonary function testsor pulmonary function tests
HRCT - IndicationHRCT - Indication
• Delineation of disease prior toDelineation of disease prior to
lung biopsy as a guide to thelung biopsy as a guide to the
optimal type and site of biopsyoptimal type and site of biopsy
