Question 9

What is the HRCT Scan for COVID?

Accepted Answer

HRCT Scan is a main diagnostic modality for COVID-19 as it forms the precise and detailed visualization of the lung. As COVID-19 impacts the lungs, this test helps detect the extent of damage done to the lung due to this infection. The HRCT Scan Chest test is conducted to rule out COVID-19 induced pneumonia, and however, it is not a definitive test to detect CoVID-19 infection.

Question 10

Is the HRCT scan painful?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not painful. The HRCT scan is a painless and non-invasive test to form the detailed high-resolution visualization of the lungs, and there is no involvement in pain. Doctors also recommend the addition of contrast dye along with the test. It involves injecting the dye with a needle which can be slightly painful. But it is just a matter of a few minutes.

Question 11

Is HRCT scan definitive of COVID-19?

Accepted Answer

HRCT scans are not definitive of COVID-19, and therefore, it has been advised to use HRCT scans reasonably to detect COVID-19 infections. The only test that is definitive for COVID-19 is the RT-PCR test.

Question 12

What do healthy lungs look like in an HRCT scan?

Accepted Answer

If no contrast is used, a healthy lung will thoroughly look black in an HRTC scan. But you should not interpret the result on your own, and a qualified doctor should do it. If you book the test with the MFine app, you can get a free consultation with top doctors.

Question 13

Will I get the HRCT scan results immediately?

Accepted Answer

It usually takes 48-72 hours for the results to be available. The lung images formed by the HRCT Scan Chest need to be appropriately interpreted to detect any underlying condition. The images need to be translated into reports which then the radiologist or physician analyzes.

Question 14

Can lung cancer be diagnosed using an HRCT?

Accepted Answer

An HRCT Scan can indicate cancerous tissue in the lungs, but it is not a definitive test for that. A biopsy is conducted to confirm the presence of particular cancerous tissue, and an HRCT scan can help the doctor locate the part for the biopsy.

Question 15

What is the difference between a CT scan and an HRCT scan?

Accepted Answer

The HRCT is an advanced form of CT scan. Though CT scan takes images faster, HRCT forms a more precise lung image without any gap. HRCT focuses on every area, thus providing a more accurate result.
