Overview
CT scan
- Chest CT scan may be helpful in the evaluation of a patient with hemoptysis. It is useful for:[1][2][3][4]
- Assessing the cause of hemoptysis
- Localizing the origin of the blood
- Providing prognostic information by correlating between the extent of lobar involvement on high-resolution CT and the amount of bleeding
- Assisting the interventional radiologist prior to treatment
- CT scan is not helpful in the following patients:[5]
- Unstable patients
- Patients with active bleeding who require bronchoscopy intervention
- Patients with bilateral lung abnormalities
- CT angiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of hemoptysis.[6]
