Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to determine the
best tool of diagnosis used in P.C. and the specific
objectives are to show the informative method in
diagnosing P.C. and to evaluate the best method used to
diagnose different cases of P.C also to locate the site
and to detect the type of consolidation.
The study conducted at military hospital and
modern medical centre and academic medical sciences.
The result showed that twenty-four (24) cases diagnosed
by C.R. consolidation which CT was confirmed the type
of consolidation.
CT detects the lesion earlier than C.R and pleural
effusion in particular.
CT scanning provides a much clearer idea of the
site position shape and size (S.S.S) of any mass than can
be obtained from the plain chest radiograph,
occasionally the CT density even enables a specific
diagnosis to be made.
