OCCASIONAL REVIEW Computed tomography and cystic fibrosis: promises and problems
Computed tomography (CT) has two potential roles in the evaluation of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease: as a diagnostic test primarily for the detection of supervening complications and as a monitoring tool in clinical research. Interest in the latter role has gained momentum in the last 5 years because of two factors: (1) therapeutic options for CF lung disease are developing ra...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملTomosynthesis in pulmonary cystic fibrosis with comparison to radiography and computed tomography: a pictorial review
The purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate chest imaging findings of cystic fibrosis (CF) using tomosynthesis (digital tomography), in comparison to radiography and computed tomography (CT). CF is a chronic systemic disease where imaging has long been used for monitoring chest status. CT exposes the patient to a substantially higher radiation dose than radiography, rendering it unsui...
