There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
- The most sensitive imaging modality to diagnose bronchiectasis is high-resolution CT HRCT however, HRCT cannot distinguish bronchiectasis due to PCD vs other etiologies such as idiopathic, cystic fibrosis CF, post-infectious, etc. There are disease distributions that may support specific diseases For example; PCD may be linked to bronchiectasis with predilection in the middle and lower lobes, as compared with CF, which usually involves the upper lobes.Mild lung disease may start earlier in life, as HRCT scans of infants and children with PCD show sub-segmental atelectasis, peri-bronchial thickening, mucus plugging, the suggestion of air trapping, and ground-glass opacities.HRCT may show bronchiectasis even in infancy, and its frequency increases with age. The absence of bronchiectasis on an HRCT scan of an adult basically excludes PCD from the differential.
- Dextrocardia if present on CT chest could be demonstrated as well and necessitates further testing.[1]
CT Para nasal sinuses
CT scan of the sinuses may show changes associated with chronic sinusitis with opacification and polyps in some cases.
