Computed tomography of the chest

With the appearance of disease symptoms indicating, for example, ailments of the respiratory system, it is very important to carry out a comprehensive and, at the same time, precise diagnostics for the presence of possible diseases. A modern, but also painless and non-invasive examination in this regard is computed tomography of the lungs – we carry it out in our clinic in Poznan. We invite you to read the most important information about the above radiological procedure!

Among the primary diagnostic methods in the context of detecting the aforementioned health problems are X-rays. In some cases, people receive inconclusive results after the X-ray. It therefore becomes necessary to carry out a CT scan, which is performed at our facility. It is also needed when carrying out additional activities to prepare the patient for a procedure involving surgical intervention. After such surgeries, doctors in some cases recommend that a CT scan of the chest be used again, in order to accurately diagnose the examined area.

Thanks to the use of this highly specialized imaging method, we are able to diagnose many health abnormalities such as lung tumors, changes resulting from trauma, the presence of fluids or foreign bodies, among others, in the pleural cavity, etc. On the day of the examination, it is often advisable to prepare appropriately, such as staying fasted. We encourage you to read our recommendations so that the entire examination can go smoothly.
