Abstract

In pulmonology practise, lung carcinomas are seen fairly frequently; this is primarily due to the contemporary lifestyle, which has led to an ever-increasing population of smokers; secondarily, this is due to the pollution that occurs in the majority of cities across the country; finally, this is due to the fact that pollution is a result of both of these factors. Before gaining confirmation of the diagnosis, the individual in question as well as their family are need to go through a significant degree of social distress. Therefore, there is a pressing requirement for major advancement in the radiographic methods that are now used in the process of cancer diagnosis. Before moving further with the confirmation of the diagnosis, it is essential for the treating physicians and the radiologists to have at least some level of confidence in the initial diagnosis. This will provide them the opportunity to fully prepare the patients and their family for the most likely diagnosis prior to the release of the confirmation report. The methods that confirm the diagnosis consist of both the PET scan and the histopathological examination of the tissue. Both of these procedures need a substantial amount of time, and in a climate like ours, it might be difficult to find a centre that offers PET scanning. As a result, the objective of this study is to determine whether or not CT is an accurate method for diagnosing lung cancer
