The utilization of transverse layers in computer tomography opens up a new level of examination for localization of pathologic processes in the thorax and their spread. The good resolution of roentgen absorption differences in the soft parts enables the use of computer tomography in the diagnosis of pericardial effusions and for further differentiation of known mediastinal growing and displacing processes. This method is also suitable for the identification of aneurysms, since it is not invasive and places hardly any strain on the patient. Finally, computer tomography can also be used for radiotherapy and operation planning, as well as in target biopsy on account of the true-to-scale and reproducible image of the body cross-sections.
计算机断层扫描中横断面层的应用为胸部病理过程的定位及其扩散的检查开辟了一个新的层面。软组织中伦琴吸收差异的良好分辨率使得计算机断层扫描可用于心包积液的诊断以及对已知纵隔生长和移位过程的进一步鉴别。该方法也适用于动脉瘤的识别，因为它是非侵入性的，对患者几乎不造成任何负担。最后，由于身体横断面图像的比例真实且可重复，计算机断层扫描还可用于放射治疗和手术规划，以及靶向活检。
