title: Computed tomography of pulmonary metastases from oral and maxillofacial tumors.
abstract: Computed tomographic scans were done on 14 oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors in which pulmonary metastases occurred but were poorly delineated by conventional chest radiography and tomography. Computed tomography promotes the accurate diagnosis of small and occult pulmonary metastases. Optimal nonlinear computed tomographic windows are recommended for the diagnosis of pulmonary metastases.
