[Diagnostic possibilities of computed x-ray tomography in thorotrast accumulation].
Quantification of Thorotrastosis is easily obtained by means of computerized tomography. Th-concentration, total Th-content in an organ and the percentage of contaminated parenchyms can be evaluated. Some examples of such measurements are presented. Conventional x-ray morphology and CT-findings are demonstrated by hand of several cases of thorotrast tumors and other patients with Th-induced lesions.
