Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
HRCT is ideally suited to evaluating diffuse parenchymal lung disease like interstitial lung dis-ease, emphysema, and bronchiectasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The chest radiograph often lags behind the clinical condition of the patient. This is common in pneumonia where the patient may come in with high fever and cough typical for pneumonia but an infiltrate on the chest film may not appear for 12 to 24 hr.
