LOINC description : Chest computed tomography (CT) is a painless, non-invasive test that creates precise
images of the structures in the chest, such as the lungs. The purpose of multi-detector
computerized tomography (MDCT) scanning for research purposes relating to the thorax
is generally to provide anatomical images. This structural assessment is a very accurate
depiction of the lungs and their components, including airways, lung parenchyma, and
lung vasculature. Additionally, the heart is also imaged when the lung images are
acquired. At times, heart images can also be informative in the clinical research
subject with lung problems.;
