Use of Chest X-Ray in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

Which one is better to detect Lung Cancer,
X-Ray or CT Scan?

• Lung cancer is a deadly disease welcomed by
  smoking and drinking. Working in factories or
  long stays in any polluted area can equally
  contribute to the multiplication of cells.
  Unfortunately it is detected at the last stage
  when the tumour has detached from its origin and
  is ready to attract the blood streams. This phase
  is called metastasis.

• Now coming to the diagnosis part. Chest x-ray is
  the most common way to get the image of lung
  cancer. But modern doctors prefer CT scans or
  computed tomography. This gained importance in
  the medical field because it gives a three
  dimensional view.  Nodules and tumours are more
  clearly visible. It has a downside too. Mostly
  false positive reports arrive which leads to
  chaos and patients often opt for a second choice
  that is a big financial affair. Hence CT scan has
  both pros and cons.

• To compete with CT scan x-ray has also improved
  from imaging to digital imaging. But this cannot
  hold the fact that these help in early detection
  of nodules.  However with the arrival of LDCD the
  high resolution x-ray fell flat. Hence if you are
  in need of CT scan better search CT near me and
  select the one that has the infrastructure of
  performing LDCD. To save life a needle biopsy is
  required post x-ray or LDCD. This is done if the
  tumour is deep inside the body. This needle
  biopsy collects the tissues and is examined to
  find cancer cells. All this information is
  generated by the National Cancer Institute. LDCD
  has one downside which is it emits radiation.

• CT being a computer aided detection wins over
  x-ray.  This technology also increases the
  effectiveness of the physician. NLST has reached
  this conclusion after running a trial with
  smokers who have been inhaling the gas for about
  30 years. This drive was conducted to check the
  mortality rate.

• To conclude CT scan gives a more detailed study
  about the affected part as compared to regular
  x-ray. MRI scan is also a step to detect lung
  cancer. But since MRI scans involve radio waves
  and magnetic waves it is only used to check if
  the cancer has reached the spinal cord or brain.
  PET scan comes to rescue when the cancer has
  spread to other parts except the brain and spinal
  cord. Means this is used in combination with CT
  scan. This is used when the affected zones are
  difficult to detect. This cannot be combined with
  x-ray.

• People belonging to polluted cities like Delhi,
  Uttar Pradesh or Maharashtra might fall prey to
  this deadly disease. Keep a list of hospitals
  where CT Chest scan in Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad
  is carried out.
