title: [CT diagnostic of ovarial tumors].
abstract: The diagnostic value of computed tomography was examined in 34 patients by the clinical diagnosis of an ovarial tumor established immediately before the operation. In 78,9% of all cases, a carcinoma could be surely recognized, often only by indirect signs of malignancy. Benign processes were correctly recognized in 83,3% of all cases. The staging of carcinomas was correct in 57,9%. A disadvantage of CT lies in the fact that it does not show peritoneal disseminations of smallest metastases as well as metastatic formations in not enlarged lymph nodes, which often leads to an understaging.
