[Diagnostic value of computed tomography in blood diseases (author's transl)].
Study of a series of 108 patients with blood disease explored by computer tomography showed that this is a reliable method for investigating retroperitoneal lymph node lesions, and that the cost and irradiation level was equivalent to conventional radiological examination. The scanner can also explore the liver, spleen, and lymph node chains, not revealed by the latter. Computer tomography, which is easily accepted by the patient, can be proposed, therefore, for initial and follow-up examinations of these patients.
