[Macrostructural analysis of peripheral lung cancer by computed tomography].
The macrostructure of peripheral cancer of the lung was studied using computed tomography-based densitometric data in 47 patients. The study was concerned with detecting epicenters of tumor growth and identifying necrosis and calcinosis. It was found that the presence of microcalcinates in tumor cannot be considered an absolute criterion of benignity. However, it may be used as indicator of the degree of lung tumor malignancy. Densitometric analysis of the said structure provides means for identifying histologic pattern of tumor, making prognosis, carrying out computed tomography-controlled aiming biopsy and improving it.
