Diagnosing Lung Diseases with CT Scans at RadCare

The lungs are among the most vital organs in the human body, playing a critical role in oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion. However, factors like genetics, environmental pollution (e.g., nitrogen oxides), and smoking can lead to chronic damage in lung tissues, significantly increasing the risk of serious diseases like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

Common Lung Diseases:

1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):

• Causes: Prolonged exposure to harmful factors such as smoking and pollution.
• Effects: Destroys alveoli (emphysema), impairing breathing.
• Diagnosis: Changes in lung tissue are identified using CT scans without the need for contrast agents.

2. Lung Cancer:

• Prevalence: Among the leading causes of death worldwide.
• Types: Common types include adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
• Role of CT Scans:
  • Initially detected through CT imaging.
  • Further tests are conducted to confirm the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

Role of CT Scans in Diagnosing Lung Diseases:

• Detailed Imaging: Provides high-resolution, detailed images of lung tissues to detect pathological changes such as fibrosis or tumors.
• Safe Option: For simple cases, no contrast material is required, making it safer for patients with allergies to contrast agents.
• Early Detection: Facilitates early diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, enhancing the likelihood of successful treatment.
