[Value of computer tomography in bronchopulmonary diseases in childhood].
In 20 children with bronchopulmonary symptoms and striking x-ray-thorax-findings computer-tomography examinations were carried out in addition to the usual diagnosis. Mediastinal demand for room and screening for tumor are recognized as essential indications in infancy for the application of CT-diagnosis in the chest. Computerized tomography is also indicated if an anomaly of blood vessels is suspected. In all other pulmonal diseases CT gives valuable information but in no case it replaces a bronchologic examination.
