Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 48
Abstract
BACKGROUND CT has been one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century. In the right pair of hands, it can do wonders to a suffering patient. The time is not far where CT diagnosis will be considered a gold standard for the diagnosis of the thoracic lesions. Presently, the final diagnosis as a rule should be considered after taking histopathological confirmation. This study puts in a sincere effort to study and understand the signs of thoracic lesions and compare this data with that of the histopathological confirmation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was done in the Department of Radiodiagnosis at The Oxford Medical College Hospital and Research Centre. The duration of the study is for a period of 18 months from November 2015 to May 2017. RESULTS 16 lesions were as being 61.54% of the total cases were diagnosed malignant. Two lesions were considered as being indeterminate. CONCLUSION The study satisfactorily proves the worthiness of CT in screening as well as its accuracy in proving the diagnosis of the thoracic lesions.
