High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) chest is an advanced imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the lung parenchyma, allowing for the assessment of subtle interstitial lung diseases and other pulmonary conditions. It is crucial in clinical practice for diagnosing and monitoring diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, where early detection can significantly influence management and prognosis. A key complication associated with HRCT is the risk of radiation exposure, necessitating judicious use.
