The value of computed tomography in the treatment of 24 patients with thymic lesions was analyzed. These included 21 patients with thymomas, and one each with thymic carcinoid, thymic lymphoma, and thymic cyst. Twelve patients were seen before therapy and 12 after treatment elsewhere. Computed tomography gave additional information in 14 of 24 cases and management was altered in two. The presence or absence of invasion of adjacent structures was predicted in 16 of 17 patients in whom computed tomographic-surgical correlation was available.
分析了计算机断层扫描在24例胸腺病变患者治疗中的价值。其中包括21例胸腺瘤患者，1例胸腺类癌患者，1例胸腺淋巴瘤患者和1例胸腺囊肿患者。12例患者在接受治疗前进行了检查，另外12例患者在其他地方接受治疗后进行了检查。计算机断层扫描在24例中的14例提供了额外信息，2例患者的治疗方案因此改变。在17例可进行计算机断层扫描与手术结果对比的患者中，16例患者的相邻结构是否受侵犯得到了预测。
