[Computed tomographic diagnosis of substernal goiter].
The authors analyze the results of computer-aided tomographic (CAT) diagnosis in 25 patients with restrosternal goiter. They claim that CAT is a method of choice in the preoperative diagnosis of retrosternal goiter, permitting the solution of a problem on the volume of surgical intervention and of the type of anesthesia. CAT helps specify the site, size, and dissemination of goiter beyond the sternum and assess its relations with the adjacent organs and tissues.
