With the incidence of pulmonary disease on marked rise, it can difficult to attribute to specific cause, clinically. Pulmonary diseases are significant public health problems. The prevalence of pulmonary diseases 80% Range between 40 patients of the imaging modalities can help elicit the subtle sings to establish the diagnosis. The goal is to HRCT at early stage so that complete clinical finding can be achieved. HRCT is a useful tool in the diagnosis and management as it can differentiate active from inactive pulmonary diseases with greater sensitivity. This study concludes that HRCT is a powerful and reliable investigation in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. Our study illustrates the potential role of HRCT in early detection of pulmonary involvement as a non-invasive, alternative modality for diagnosis and differentiation of active inflammatory process from fibrosis. Pulmonary diseases can be difficult to a specific cause, both clinically and radio graphically. Pulmonary diseases in the setting of a normal-appearing radiography and a nonspecific history and clinical findings can be a difficult dilemma. The precise diagnosis of pulmonary diseases can be elusive, since the signs and symptoms are frequently similar for the different diagnosis and conventional roentgenograms are non-specific for the diagnosis purpose. HRCT using thin sections has become the established method for evaluating defuse lung disease. When the CT findings are analyzed in the context of the clinical history, physical findings, pulmonary function test and laboratory data, characteristics HRCT findings may allow a confident diagnosis in conditions such as asbestosis, silicosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In some cases such as allergic alveolitis, HRCT findings may preclude the need for lung biopsy, it can be used as a guide in selecting the best site for a biopsy. HRCT is more sensitive than chest radiography for detecting emphysema and it has replaced bronchi graph as the definitive method for detecting bronchiectasis. Multi slice CT is the most effective way to image patient after blunt chest trauma, which is second only to cans injury as a cause of post trauma death.
