title: [Use of x-ray scanning densitometry and computerized tomography in the evaluation of the effect of tumor treatment].
abstract: The paper considers the ways of quantitative assessment of changes occurring in the density and size of a tumorous focus during its treatment (radiation, chemical and hormonal therapies). They are based on scanning densitometric techniques by identifying quantitative integral and differential parameters. The parameters are used to assess tissue alterations by applying computerized tomography. The investigations into the impact of radiation and chemotherapy on tumor tissue in breast and lung cancers have indicated that scanning densitometry and computerized tomography may be used to evaluate therapeutical effects.
