Chest CT Scan

A chest CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging test that takes detailed pictures of the inside of your chest, including the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures. Unlike a standard chest X-ray, a CT scan provides cross-sectional images, allowing doctors to see more clearly and accurately for any abnormalities, such as tumors, infections, or lung diseases. The procedure is quick, generally painless, and requires you to lie still while the machine rotates around you. It’s a valuable tool in chest radiology for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions.
