Title: [Comparative evaluation of invasive methods of examination of pulmonary coin lesions]. Author: Ablitsov IuA, Uspenskiĭ LV. Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1990 Feb; (2):48-51. PubMed ID: 2335890.

The authors developed a diagnostic algorithm used in a patient with a solitary spherical structure in the lung.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
