Talk to Pulmonologist / Lung on Pulmonology - HRCT Chest
Asking for Father, Male, 65 years old, Lahore
He is 65 male with DM, HTN, BPH, Bronchial Asthma (asthma since childhood). Now doctor has advised HRCT chest. Can we get the desired picture of lungs with MRI chest instead of HRCT? As CT scan isn't as safe as MRI, he's 65. Second query, he is having what we say in punjabi ''Khangura'' type thing frequently and its sometimes very long, loud with secretions which. What is this? Please address both queries. Thanks
