As described in the text, HRCT is used to evaluate and diagnose interstitial lung disease. For adenopathy, the usual protocol is a contrast-enhanced chest CT, usually with significantly thicker slice collimation and slice reconstruction than used with HRCT. Additionally, HRCT does not use IV contrast enhancement. Congestive heart failure is diagnosed clinically and with radiographs. Bronchogenic carcinoma is incorrect for essentially the same reasons as for adenopathy.
