        abstract = {High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a modern form of imaging which is more accurate than the traditional chest X-rays in diagnosis and follow-up of the diseases of the lung tissues and airways. In the present-day CT technology, volume HRCT is possible and covers the whole lung. Moreover, contrast-enhanced CTs of the chest or entire body can be reconstructed into the HRCT images.
HRCT is very popular in the diagnosis of acute and chronic diffuse lung disease. Typical signs are idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and occupational lung diseases, including pneumoconiosis, including asbestosis. It is also useful in the diagnosis of acute diseases like infections, drug-induced pulmonary reactions and diffuses injury of the alveoli.
The medical history of the patient is critical to making accurate interpretations of findings in HRCT because imaging findings are usually non-specific. Hence, effective diagnosis and management of patients require well-planned and well-written clinical referrals.},
