title: [Computerized tomography of the female thorax after mastectomy: the most important topometric data from the viewpoint of radiation].
abstract: The author analysed postoperative CT images of 77 patients operated on carcinoma of the breast and performed topometric measurements on the level of sternoclavicular joints parasternal, and in the centre line of the sternum in the height of the second and sixth intercostal space as well as on the thorax wall medioclavicular and on the forepart of the axillar line. The values measured corresponded to the literary data in general except those of the second intercostal space and of the axilla. The author stresses the necessity of CT series when making radiation planning of breast cancer.
