Low Dose Chest CT

Low Dose CT (Low-Dose Computed Tomography) is a specialized CT technique that uses a lower radiation dose compared to standard CT scans while maintaining high image quality for diagnostic purposes.

This method provides detailed imaging of the lungs with up to 90% less radiation than conventional chest CT scans, making it a powerful tool for disease diagnosis. For this reason, annual screening is recommended for individuals in high-risk groups.

What is the goal of Low Dose CT?

Reducing radiation exposure is particularly important in:

01

Preventive screening

– Early diagnosis in asymptomatic patients (e.g., lung cancer).

02

Follow-up scans

– For patients requiring regular monitoring (e.g., pulmonary disease or cancer cases).

03

Pediatric examinations

– Children are more sensitive to radiation exposure.

04

Chronic conditions

– Such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary fibrosis.
