A comparative study of the efficacy of thoracic CT (TCT) and chest radiograph for the assessment of complete remission, residual or recurrent disease, was undertaken on 31 post-therapy lymphoma patients (23 Hodgkin's, 8 non-Hodgkin's). The TCT and chest radiograph were evaluated independently. Compared with the chest CT, the sensitivity of the chest radiograph was low (56%). The confidence level of abnormal findings on the chest radiograph was lower, Additional diagnostic information provided by TCT influenced the clinical management in 33% of the cases. Compared with the chest radiograph, TCT had a higher diagnostic and management efficacy at the follow-up evaluation of post-therapy lymphoma patients.
对31例治疗后的淋巴瘤患者（23例霍奇金淋巴瘤，8例非霍奇金淋巴瘤）进行了胸部CT（TCT）与胸部X线片评估完全缓解、残留或复发疾病疗效的对比研究。TCT和胸部X线片由不同人员独立评估。与胸部CT相比，胸部X线片的敏感性较低（56%）。胸部X线片上异常表现的置信度较低，TCT提供的额外诊断信息在33%的病例中影响了临床管理。与胸部X线片相比，在治疗后淋巴瘤患者的随访评估中，TCT具有更高的诊断和管理效能。
