●High resolution computed tomography (HRCT, also called thin-section CT scanning) provides more detail than either chest radiography or conventional CT scanning, with an overall sensitivity of 95 percent and a specificity approaching 100 percent. Compared to chest radiography, HRCT can more accurately assess the pattern and distribution of diffuse lung disease, which may be beneficial […]
