[Postoperative computerized tomography of thoracic organs in lung cancer patients].

The report discusses the data on the complex radiation examination of 40 lung cancer patients at different stages of postoperative follow-up. Standard X-ray procedures and CT of thoracic organs were carried out. Considerable advantages offered by CT were recorded in the assessment of the pleural cavity, the remaining part of the lung and mediastinal organs. CT evidence played an important role in making differential diagnosis of relapse and other postoperative changes.
