A STUDY OF THORACIC LESIONS AND COMPARISON OF IMAGING DIAGNOSIS BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) WITH FINAL DIAGNOSIS BASED ON HISTOPATHOLOGY/CYTOLOGY

Abstract

The invention of CT has been a remarkable achievement of the 21st century. When used by a skilled practitioner, it has the potential to greatly benefit a patient who is experiencing distress. In the near future, CT diagnosis is expected to be widely recognised as the most reliable method for diagnosing thoracic lesions. Currently, it is generally advisable to confirm the final diagnosis with histological examination. This study aims to comprehensively investigate and comprehend the indicators of thoracic lesions, and subsequently compare this data with the histological confirmation.
