Summary

Computed tomography (CT) is the most accurate test for evaluating patients with thoracic disease. However, access to CT is limited due to long wait times and for the sickest patients in Hospital who cannot be transported from the ward to the CT scanner. The investigators propose to modify a standard X-ray unit to provide more detailed information of the chest such that a CT scan is not required for all patients.
