title: [Value of conventional tomography and computerized tomography in the diagnosis of tumors of the bronchial system].
abstract: 66 patients with suspected bronchial tumors were examined by conventional tomography and by CT. The results were evaluated separately by two radiologists (A and B). All diagnoses were confirmed by bronchoscopy or surgery. In evaluating individual bronchi, conventional tomography had a sensitivity of 88% (A) or 87% (B) and a specificity of 97% (A) or 95% (B); CT had a sensitivity of 95% (A and B) and a specificity of 99% (A and B). If CT is available, our experience indicates that conventional tomography is no longer indicated.
