title: [Examination of the lung with radionuclides in severe trauma of the thorax (author's transl)].
abstract: If there is a discrepancy between radiological findings and clinical state after massive trauma of the thorax, nuclear medicine examination is useful as is shown by a case report. Mostly it is possible to clarify the nature of abnormal masses in the lung by perfusion scintigraphy of the lung or/and inhalation of radionuclide. These examinations should be performed to control the further development of intrapulmonary alterations.
