LOINC description : High-resolution computed tomography (CT) uses thin-section axial tomography and a
computer-image reconstruction algorithm, which produces less smoothing at interfaces,
thus providing better delineation of small structures and detail. HRCT differs from
the conventional CT in that it uses a very narrow x-ray beam collimation (1-1.3mm
slice thickness compared to conventional 8-10mm) and a so-called 'high spatial frequency
reconstruction algorithm'.;
