Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please explain what a CT scan is for silicosis?Doctor's answer:
CT is the report image of the imaging examination, from which it can be clearly seen the arrangement of blood vessels, nerves, and bones of each part, as well as any damage. It is a good examination method and a standard for qualitative assessment. Specific verification still requires careful examination by professional doctors. Generally, the lungs are mainly checked for shadows, swelling, enlargement, or expansion, which helps to infer lung problems.
