title: [The value of CT in carcinoma of the lung apex].
abstract: The CT findings in 34 patients with histologically confirmed tumours at a lung apex are described. CT, compared with conventional methods, provides more comprehensive information regarding the localisation and extent of the tumour and of local metastases. On the basis of CT examinations, 28 patients were treated by radiotherapy and in six patients surgery could be carried out.
