The Differentiation of Pulmonary Consolidation PC

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.
