[Role of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of pulmonary cancer].
The authors analyse 297 cases with lung cancer and 86 cases with various lung diseases which were to be differentiated from lung cancer and discuss the present-day potentialities of computer-aided tomography in the diagnosis of this condition comparing this method with classical roentgenology methods. The authors consider than in central pulmonary carcinoma computer-aided tomography is particularly valuable in peribronchial dissemination of the tumor, in peripheral it objectively shows pleural involvement, and in bronchoalveolar cancer this method shows symptoms specific of this lung cancer form. A conclusion is made that despite the usefulness of computer-aided tomography in the diagnosis of lung cancer common tomography remains the most effective method for the diagnosis of this suffering.
