[Computed tomography in the evaluation of the bronchopulmonary system in late periods after childhood partial resection of the lung].
The authors used computed tomography (CT) as a basis to analyze the anatomic status of the bronchopulmonary system in 28 patients undergone resection of a part of the lung in childhood for chronic nonspecific lung inflammations and malformations. The findings confirmed the high diagnostic value of CT in the evaluation of the lung in different postoperative periods and showed a certain range of changes varying from significant in the lung operated on to progression of the primary disease to the collateral lung.
