title: [The value of computerized tomography in detecting and localizing lung metastases].
abstract: 25 patients with an extrathoracic malignant tumor and radiologically proven lung nodules had a thoracic CT preoperatively. 111 nodules were confirmed by surgery (median: 10 mm). Histopathological examination revealed 104 metastases or sterilised metastases and 7 benign nodules. CT detected 97% of the nodules. Localisation of the nodules according to different lobes or segments was correct in 97% of nodules. CT is a very sufficient method for the detection and localisation of lung metastases.
