Volumetric CT data acquisition has had a major impact on the practice of computed tomography. This article reviews the current state of knowledge of the applications of this technique to the chest disease summarising its clinical impact on the assessment of lung and airways diseases, mediastinal abnormalities (excluding vascular disorders which are covered elsewhere), and in the evaluation of lung cancer patients. The impact of spiral CT on the non-invasive detection of pulmonary thrombo-embolic disease is also considered.
容积CT数据采集对计算机断层扫描的实践产生了重大影响。本文综述了该技术在胸部疾病应用方面的当前知识状况，总结了其在评估肺部和气道疾病、纵隔异常（不包括其他地方涵盖的血管疾病）以及肺癌患者评估中的临床影响。还考虑了螺旋CT对肺血栓栓塞性疾病无创检测的影响。
