Xerotomography was performed on 148 patients with proven or suspected tumors of the lung or mediastinum. Retrospectively they were compared to film tomography in 108 cases. In 64 patients, the results of histological examination were also available. Xerotomography proved diagnostically more effective than film tomography in 52 cases (48%), less effective in 6 cases (6%) and about equivalent in the remaining 50 cases (46%). Xerotomography appeared to be more effective in visualization of small peripheral nodes of moderate opacity. Xerotomography has to be a selected second-line technique for special cases, in particular for the study of coin lesions, for the search for cavitations and calcifications and for the study of pulmonary vessels.
对148例已证实或疑似患有肺部或纵隔肿瘤的患者进行了干板断层摄影。回顾性地将其中108例患者与X线断层摄影进行了比较。64例患者还获得了组织学检查结果。干板断层摄影在诊断上比X线断层摄影更有效的有52例（48%），效果较差的有6例（6%），其余50例（46%）两者效果大致相当。干板断层摄影在显示中等密度的小周边结节方面似乎更有效。干板断层摄影必须作为特殊病例的一种选定的二线技术，特别是用于研究钱币状病灶、寻找空洞和钙化以及研究肺血管。
