Aim: Theaimofthisstudyisthe role of multidetector computed tomography in evaluation of lung anomalies patient inNIMSHospital,Jaipur,Rajasthan.

Methods:Itwasanobservationaldescriptivestudy.Atotalof262patientsfromthedepartmentofRadio-diagnosisandImaging,NIMSHospital,Jaipur,wereselected and scan was takenat different technical factors.

Result:In this study, the age group of the patients ranged between 15 to 90 years with mean age of patient were 55.6 years the majority of the patients were in age group 56 to 60years (12.5%). There were 62.21% male patients and 36.5% femalesOut of 262 patients selected for the study, 109 (69) were males and (40) were females.
