[Computed tomography of the pleura].
The paper examines CT images of the pleura and interlobar culci in health and in disease. For this, 403 patients were examined (420 CT studies), of whom 218 had pleural lesion and 185 formed a control group. The complex of studies involved computed tomography (CT) as compared with conventional radiation studies. The CT symptomatology of free and sacculated exudates, empyemas of the pleura, pleural depositions and adhesions, tumor lesions of the pleura. Based on the findings, an original scheme of free and sacculated pleural exudates was offered in CT images. The findings have led the authors to the conclusion that computed tomography is a more sensitive method in the evaluation of the pleura than standard X-ray study.
