title: [Accuracy of cardiac CT and echocardiography in the diagnosis of space-occupying processes in the heart].
abstract: CT of the heart and echocardiography was performed on 107 patients with various space-occupying lesions of the heart. In addition, 27 patients were subjected to angiocardiography. A comparison of the findings has shown that cardio-CT is superior to two-dimensional echocardiography for demonstrating pericardial masses and intracavity thrombi. There was no significant difference as far as intracavity or intramural tumours were concerned. CT and sonography are superior to angiography in the diagnosis of cardiac space-occupying lesions.
