title: The usefulness of computed tomography spatial imaging in diagnosing lung tumours.
abstract: Diagnostic value of spatial CT reconstruction was analysed on the material of 17 patients with histopathologically confirmed lung tumours. Spatial 3D CT reconstructions of lung tumours were found to be a precious supplement of conventional CT examination providing important information concerning localisation, volume, surface structure, mutual relations of tumour and vessels as well as the evaluation of pleural infiltration.
