A Study of lung diseases using High Resolution Computed Tomography and Conventional x- ray

Abstract

Chest x-ray is important radiographic procedures during the management of lung disorders. Aimed: to finding x-ray and high resolution computed tomography in lung diseases. The problem of study was when took the chest x-ray there on overlapped of pathology with dense structure and HRCT is the test performed by taken thin section that result a few image representative of lung in general. HRCT don't taken image of the whole lung because using widely spaced thin section. Methods: Retrospective cross sectional study Descriptive, 50 patients come to x-ray department for check up chest by x-ray and HRCT when suspected lung disease, Male and female. Were examined in Moaalem medical center, during the period from (January 2018 to march 2018). The variable collected from patients include Gender, age, sigin and symptoms, clinical diagnostic, x-ray finding and HRCT finding.Result:the majority of samples were males greater than females,males26 (52%) and females 24 (48%). In this study peak incidence was among the age between ( years of age presenting( 2%). The cough is the most sign and symptoms with 21 patient(42%). Most patient had suspected clinical diagnostic (consolidation) of 13 patient (26%). In x-ray finding about 18 patient (36%) was saw pleural effution when those patient did HRCT we saw 13 patitent (26%) scloratic changes with pleural effution. Finally the study showed HRCT is golden modalities in lung interstitial disease combinations of modality enhancefinding.
