A Study of Lung Diseases using Computed Tomography

Abstract

This was descriptive cross sectional study aimed to study of lung diseases using CT, conducted in Khartoum stat of Sudan in Omer Sawi hospital during the period from February to August 2022, 54 patients were selected 26(48.1%) male and 28(51.9%) female. In concern distribution of disease the study found 3(5.6%) had Ca lung, 3(5.6%) had Pulmonary edema, 2(3.7%) had Bilateral Pneumonia, 2(3.7%) had Lung fibrosis, 2(3.7%) had Lymphangioma, 2(3.7%) had PE, 2(3.7%) had Pulmonary fibrosis, 1(1.9%) had Basal segmental collapse, 1(1.9%) had Bilateral lobe fibrosis, 1(1.9%) had Bilateral PE, 1(1.9%) had [Ca esophagus, Normal chest], 1(1.9%) had Cardiomegaly, 1(1.9%) had Cardiomegaly feature congestive, 1(1.9%) had COPD, 1(1.9%) had [Emphysema, Fibrosis], 1(1.9%) had Hilo lymphadenopathy, 1(1.9%) had Known bronchial asthma, 1(1.9%) had Lt. upper lobe consolidate, 1(1.9%) had Lung abscess, 1(1.9%) had Lung Collapse, 1(1.9%) had Lung consolidation, 1(1.9%) had Mild lunge fibrosis, 1(1.9%) had mts Ca breast, 1(1.9%) had Multiple lung nodule, 1(1.9%) had [Pleura effusion, ascites], 1(1.9%) had [Pleura effusion, Cardiomegaly], 1(1.9%) had Rt. side pleura effusion, 1(1.9%) had TB, 1(1.9%) had TB chest, 1(1.9%) had TB infection, 1(1.9%) had TB, Bronchitis, 1(1.9%) had TB, Fibrosis, 1(1.9%) had Upper lobe fibrosis, 1(1.9%) had Upper lobe lung mass and 2(3.7%) had Normal chest, there was statistically insignificant correlation between disease and age groups (p-value = 0.167). The study concluded to most had Ca lung and Pulmonary edema, there was statistically insignificant correlation between disease and age groups, between disease and gender.
