Comparative analysis between CXR and CT imaging.

CXR imaging	CT imaging
CXR visualization for medical treatment is relatively simpler.	CT scans require more space to diagnose the patients.
It provides 2D images.	It provides 3D images.
CXR is a cost-effective and straightforward method for chest imaging.	CT imaging is costly and time-consuming.
Patients are exposed to less radiation during treatment.	Patients are exposed to high radiation during treatment.
It has high sensitivity.	It has low sensitivity.
CXR imaging equipment can be cleaned easily. In addition, it has high availability.	CT imaging equipment has a complex cleaning process. In addition, it has low availability.
Portable CXR are available for diagnosing lung anomalies	Presently, portable CT scans are unavailable.
It has low risk of cross-infection.	Cross-infection is possible due to the immediate environment.
