The diagnostic value of CT in follicular thymic hyperplasia and in thymomas in 8 patients with myasthenia gravis and in 12 patients without myasthenia gravis suffering from thymic tumors was evaluated by correlating CT-findings to surgical results and pathological-histological findings. Thymic size of the six patients with histologically proven follicular hyperplasia were scattered within the normal range, but half of them were at the upper limit. Thymic tumors were differentiated between invasive and non invasive tumors by CT staging. Solid tumors with different histology could not be further classified; the attenuation values ranging from 15-55 HU were the same in tumors, follicular hyperplasia and normal thymus.
通过将CT检查结果与手术结果及病理组织学结果相关联，评估了CT对8例重症肌无力患者的滤泡性胸腺增生和胸腺瘤以及12例无重症肌无力的胸腺肿瘤患者的诊断价值。6例经组织学证实为滤泡性增生患者的胸腺大小分布在正常范围内，但其中一半处于上限。通过CT分期区分胸腺肿瘤的侵袭性和非侵袭性。不同组织学类型的实性肿瘤无法进一步分类；肿瘤、滤泡性增生和正常胸腺的衰减值范围为15 - 55 HU，是相同的。
