The usefulness of computed tomography spatial imaging in diagnosing lung tumours.
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.
