Lung Disease Could Show Up in CT Scan
Doctors who suspect their patients have lung disease may want to use a high resolution cat scan before resorting to a more invasive biopsy.
A University of Washington Medical Center study shows use of the high resolution scan can be effective at detecting a specific pattern on diseased lungs.
Surgical biopsy is a riskier procedure and many patients are too sick or old to tolerate it. Â
