People who have symptoms of lung problems, such as chest pain or trouble breathing, may need chest CT scans.Chest CT scans look for problems such as tumors, excess fluid around the lungs, and pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). The scan also checks for other conditions, such as tuberculosis, emphysema, and pneumonia.
Your doctor may order a chest CT scan if a standard chest x ray doesn’t help diagnose the problem. For example, your doctor might order a chest CT scan after a chest x ray to:- See more detailed pictures of your lungs and other structures in your chest
- Find the exact location of a tumor or other problem
- Show something that isn’t visible on a chest x ray
Kidney Scan Details
A renal scan is a nuclear medicine exam in which a small amount of radioactive material (radioisotope) is used to measure the function of the kidneys.A renal scan reveals the size, position, shape, and function of the kidneys. It is particularly useful when a person is sensitive or allergic to the contrast (dye) material used in an IVP or other x-rays, or when they have reduced kidney function.
Abnormal results are a sign of reduced kidney function. This may be due to:
- Acute or chronic kidney failure
- Complications of a kidney transplant
- Glomerulonephritis
