Comparative Analysis of Conventional Chest Radiographs and HRCT Thorax for the Assessment of Patients with Interstitial Lung Disorders

Abstract

Numerous conditions that are typified by cellular infiltrates in a periacinar site are included in the category of diffuse interstitial lung disease. Numerous patients present with different respiratory issues. For these patients, a chest radiograph is typically the initial line of inquiry. When the results of a chest radiograph are unclear or even seem normal, we perform an HRCT Thorax, which aids in the diagnosis and visualization of problems that the chest radiograph is unable to show. This study aims to compare the results of chest radiography and HRCT lung in interstitial lung disorders. When there was a clinical suspicion of interstitial lung disease, patients underwent high resolution computed tomography and chest radiography. Sarcoidosis (23.3%), rheumatoid arthritis (10%), silicosis (16.7%), disseminated tuberculosis (6.7%), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (6.7%), allergic bronchopulmonary as pergillosis (6.7%), and lymphangitis carcinomatosis (6.7%) were among the range of diseases covered by the study. We draw the conclusion that when assessing individuals with interstitial lung disease, HRCT appears to be the preferred method of examination. Since chest radiography is not very sensitive, an HRCT examination of the chest should be recommended for any patient who has a clinical suspicion of interstitial lung disease.
