Volumetric computed tomography (CT) significantly impacts chest disease diagnosis. This review covers its clinical applications in lung, airway, and mediastinal conditions, plus lung cancer and pulmonary embolism detection.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Thoracic Diseases

Background:

  • Volumetric CT data acquisition has revolutionized computed tomography (CT) practice.
  • The technique offers advanced visualization and analysis capabilities for thoracic structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current applications of volumetric CT in chest disease assessment.
  • To summarize the clinical impact of this technique across various thoracic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current knowledge on volumetric CT applications in chest diseases.
  • Focus on clinical impact in lung, airways, mediastinal abnormalities, and lung cancer evaluation.
  • Consideration of spiral CT for pulmonary thrombo-embolic disease detection.

Main Results:

  • Volumetric CT enhances the assessment of lung and airways diseases.
  • It provides valuable insights into mediastinal abnormalities (excluding vascular disorders).
  • The technique is crucial in evaluating lung cancer patients and detecting pulmonary thrombo-embolic disease.

Conclusions:

  • Volumetric CT has a major clinical impact on diagnosing and managing chest diseases.
  • It represents a significant advancement in thoracic imaging.
  • Further integration of volumetric CT is expected to improve patient outcomes.
