A computed-tomography scan of the chest, including a high-resolution (HRCT) technique, that uses X-rays to produce detailed images of the lungs, airways and surrounding structures. HRCT is particularly used for detailed assessment of the lung tissue. At OMEGA the scan is performed on a 16-slice CT system, is non-contrast at the standard price, and takes only a few minutes. A specialist radiologist reviews the images and provides a written report, with a faster turnaround available on request.
