The value of minimum intensity projection technique in the assessment of interstitial lung disease and asthma
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
CT produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing, in order to demonstrate various structures based on their ability to block the X-ray/Rontgen beam. Although image collimation is prospectively fixed in axial and older scanners, collimation can also be retrospectively changed on newer generation of MDCT. A single Centre prospective study was conducted among patients who came for CT chest to our clinic, who were showing features of interstitial lung disease and bronchial asthma. Out of 50 patients 27 are males and 23 are females. The patient’s age range is from 21years to 88years; with mean age is 52-53years. Most common symptom of presentation is dyspnea on exertion, cough, seasonal attacks of breathlessness and fever.
