A review of the first 400 cases examined on one of three prototype EMI body scanners is presented. During the initial evaluation phases, it became obvious that computed tomography of the body has tremendous potential in the evaluation of various organs and disease states. The technique has been most useful in evaluating patients with known or suspected abdominal neoplasm, particularly lesions of liver, pancreas, retroperitoneum, and kidney. Too few cases have been studied to realistically quantitate its impact on the total field of medical diagnostic imaging.
本文介绍了对三台原型EMI全身扫描仪之一检查的首批400例病例的回顾。在初始评估阶段，很明显，人体计算机断层扫描在评估各种器官和疾病状态方面具有巨大潜力。该技术在评估已知或疑似腹部肿瘤患者，特别是肝脏、胰腺、腹膜后和肾脏病变方面最为有用。由于研究的病例太少，无法实际量化其对医学诊断成像整个领域的影响。
