The third-generation computer CT/T-7800 manufactured by the General Electric Company (USA) was used to examine 600 patients with different chest diseases. Fifty-two patients were diagnosed as having central lung carcinoma. During comparison of the research data with those obtained by conventional x-ray methods, important information which made it possible to classify differently the stage of carcinoma was obtained in 40.4% of cases. The diagnosis of central lung carcinoma with the aid of computer-aided tomography was made for the first time in 11 cases. The method has advantages in detecting latent segmental atelectases and early signs of bronchostenosis. Computer-aided tomography makes it possible to restrict the use of invasive methods of examination in detecting mediastinal and distant metastases.
使用美国通用电气公司生产的第三代计算机断层扫描仪CT/T - 7800对600例患有不同胸部疾病的患者进行检查。52例患者被诊断为中心型肺癌。在将研究数据与通过传统X线方法获得的数据进行比较时，40.4%的病例获得了能够对癌症分期进行不同分类的重要信息。11例患者首次借助计算机辅助断层扫描诊断出中心型肺癌。该方法在检测潜在节段性肺不张和支气管狭窄早期征象方面具有优势。计算机辅助断层扫描使得在检测纵隔和远处转移时能够限制使用侵入性检查方法。
