I'm a bit confused about these HRCT scans. Are an HRCT chest and HRCT lungs the same thing, or do they look for different issues? I'm trying to figure out if they cover different parts of the body or serve different purposes. Could you explain this to me? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to understand what's going on.

I've been dealing with asthma for about 2 years now and recently I've started feeling chest and back pain when I take a deep breath. It's strange because I'm not having any other symptoms and my treatment seems to be going well. I even had a chest x-ray and it didn't show anything unusual. I just can't figure out why this pain happens with deep breaths. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

because of inflammation of airways,take proper treatment of asthma. steam inhalation

I'm really confused about something and could really use some clarity. Is pulmonary Koch's the same as tuberculosis in the lungs? And if they're different, do they require the same kind of treatment as tuberculosis? Also, is this pulmonary Koch's thing contagious?

Yes, pulmonary Koch's is another term for tuberculosis (TB) in the lungs. It requires similar treatment, usually involving a combination of antibiotics over several months. TB is contagious, so it's important to follow precautions to prevent spreading it to others.
