[Efficiency of computed tomography in diagnosis of silicotuberculosis].
The routine methods X-ray study and computed tomography (CT) were compared in a group of patients engaged in fireproof industry. CT yields valuable additional data in early silicotuberculosis, which makes it possible to follow the extent of a silicotuberculous process more completely, to make a better diagnosis of nodal and focal shadows, to identify small decay cavities in the foci and infiltrates. CT is the method of choice in following up patients with silicotuberculosis.
