CT has been one of the greatest inventions of the 21^st century. In the right pair of hands it can do wonders to a suffering patient. The time is not far where CT diagnosis will be considered a Gold standard for the diagnosis of the Thoracic Lesions. Presently the final diagnosis as a rule should be considered after taking Histo–pathological confirmation. This study puts in a sincere effort to study and understand the signs of thoracic lesions and compare this data with that of the Histo–pathological confirmation.

The study was done in the Department of Pathology, Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore in association with the Department of Radiodiagnosis.

The study satisfactorily proves the worthiness of CT in screening as well as its accuracy in proving the diagnosis of the thoracic lesions.
