title: [The CT images of peripheral adenocarcinoma--comparison with the positive group and negative in pre-operative diagnosis].
abstract: The authors compared CT images of the patients where confirmed diagnosis was able to obtain with bronchoscopy adenocarcinoma occurring at the periphery before operation, particularly of adenocarcinoma of T1, with those of the patients where confirmed diagnosis was unable to obtain, and in the results we were unable to find the difference between both CT images. It was considered accordingly that X-ray CT was useful for the diagnosis of the peripheral type pulmonary adenocarcinoma, especially that with small shadows, and that it may become one of the influential methods for the diagnosis of small lung cancer.
