The authors argue that CT is superior to other imaging techniques for the examination of the bones and soft tissues of the chest wall. They also note the importance of CT in planning therapy for lesions involving these structures. In support of these theses they present computed tomograms showing 26 different types of lesion involving the chest wall ranging from sternal fracture to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Malignant neoplasms involving the chest wall by metastasis or direct extension from the breast, lung or mediastinum are emphasized.
作者认为，在检查胸壁的骨骼和软组织方面，CT优于其他成像技术。他们还指出了CT在规划涉及这些结构的病变治疗方案中的重要性。为支持这些论点，他们展示了计算机断层扫描图像，这些图像显示了26种不同类型的涉及胸壁的病变，范围从胸骨骨折到恶性纤维组织细胞瘤。重点强调了通过转移或从乳腺、肺或纵隔直接蔓延而累及胸壁的恶性肿瘤。
