title: [Computerized echotomography with target puncture biopsy in the diagnosis of thyroid gland lesions].
abstract: Combined investigation of 200 patients with different thyroid lesions was conducted. The program of investigation included computerized echotomography of the thyroid with spot puncture and rapid cytological examination. Of them 138 patients were operated upon. In 125 patients (87.4%) combined investigation including spot aspiration puncture biopsy and echotomography helped to establish morphological diagnosis of lesion, to specify indications for surgical intervention and to optimize its use.
