[Role of conventional radiology and computed tomography in pre-surgical TNM staging of lung tumours: experience on 41 cases (author's transl)].
Comparison between standard radiographic and CT evaluation with surgical exploration was carried on 41 patients affected by bronchogenic carcinoma. The standard radiographic and CT evaluation was mae only for "T" and "N". In the named 41 patients the surgical evaluation of the anatomic extent (only for T and N) was made. T was underestimated by standard radiographic; on the contrary N appeared underestimated by the two radiological methods.
