title: [Computed tomography in the x-ray diagnosis of pneumonia].
abstract: Experience in the use of CT in combined radiodiagnosis of pneumonia was analysed. It has been concluded that CT objectively reflects morphological inflammatory pulmonary changes and permits their all-round assessment over time. The diagnosis of pneumonia in CT is based on classical x-ray symptoms. As compared to survey radiography CT reveals symptoms of pneumonia to the full at earlier stages. CT is an important additional method of investigation of inflammatory pulmonary diseases, but it should not be used separately without survey radiography. In a majority of cases when CT is performed there is no need in x-ray tomography.
