Abstract

CT Scan 128 Slice can produce excellent images with good contrast and low radiation dose. Pulmonary hypertension CT Scan is able to imaging central arterial dilatation, while mitral stenosis on CT Scan 128 Slice imaging can be seen as well. The purpose of this paper is to report the diagnosis of patients with pulmonary hypertension, mitral stenosis, emphysematous, and pleural effusion using a CT scan of 128 slices. A case report of a 50 years old man with complaints of shortness of breath and cough, arrived to the CT Scan section of the lung hospital dr. Ario Wirawan to conduct a 128 Slice Chest CT Scan. The patient underwent a CT scan on chest with pre-contrast and post-contrast. Post-contrast of the patient is conducted by injection of non-ionic contrast, then pre-contrast lung window, pre-contrast mediastinum window, post-contrast lung window, and post-contrast mediastinum window were performed. The 128 slice CT scan technique was performed on the axial, coronal, and sagittal sections. At the time of contrast, the patient is injected with a non-ionic contrast drug. The result was expertise by a radiologist. The results of CT Scan 128 showed pulmonary artery dilatation, multiple calcifications of the mitral valve, diffuse centrilobular emphysema, and right pleural effusion. The results of this study portray that a thorax CT scan is capable of imaging patients with pulmonary hypertension, mitral stenosis, emphysema, pleural.
