title: [The role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of lung cancer].
abstract: The paper discusses the data on 229 cases of lung pathology including 85 with cancer. Sensitivity and specificity were 89.4 and 86% for standard X-ray procedures and 91.8 and 90.3% for computed tomography, respectively. Combined application of the methods was followed by a rise in the parameters to 94.1 and 93%, respectively. Computed tomography proved useful for early detection of lung metastases.
