Overview
A high-resolution computed tomography scan of the chest may show the distribution of emphysema throughout the lungs and can also be useful to exclude other lung diseases.
CT
CT scan in patients with COPD may be helpful in the following aspects.[1]
- A high-resolution CT scan is more sensitive and specific than standard chest x ray.
- Outlined bullae are better visualized on CT scan than a chest x ray.
- HRCT may help in diagnosing other COPD for instance alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency shows lower lobe involvement on HRCT.
- CT scan helps in decision making regarding treatment.
