Chest CT

TC Tórax_ped

Diagnostic test that involves obtaining high-definition anatomical images of the chest (lungs, heart, mediastinum, large vessels, rib cage, etc.) using CT (computed tomography) equipment. These images are then studied at a workstation that allows two-dimensional reconstructions in different planes of space, as well as three-dimensional (3D: volumetric) reconstructions. Some studies require the use of an iodinated contrast agent to improve image definition.
