title: [The role of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer].
abstract: A CT-examination of 87 patients with various types of central cancer of the lung was carried out. Computed-tomography scanning is a highly-sensitive method of radiodiagnosis which detects respiratory system lesions, stage, predominant area of involvement and condition of adjacent tissues. On the basis of CT-related features of tumor, type and stage can be identified to choose optimal therapy and follow-up.
