title: Computerized tomography in the assessment of diseases of the thorax.
abstract: Many of the diseases of the chest wall, heart, mediastinum, pleura and lungs can be successfully imaged by computerized tomography. Radiation therapy ports can be calculated and transcutaneous biopsies monitored. This paper deals with the many uses that we have had for computerized tomography in assessing diseases within the chest and thorax.
