    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 1989 May; 9(2):96-100. PubMed ID: 2743988.
    Abstract:
    A comparative study of the efficacy of thoracic CT (TCT) and chest radiograph for the assessment of complete remission, residual or recurrent disease, was undertaken on 31 post-therapy lymphoma patients (23 Hodgkin's, 8 non-Hodgkin's). The TCT and chest radiograph were evaluated independently. Compared with the chest CT, the sensitivity of the chest radiograph was low (56%). The confidence level of abnormal findings on the chest radiograph was lower, Additional diagnostic information provided by TCT influenced the clinical management in 33% of the cases. Compared with the chest radiograph, TCT had a higher diagnostic and management efficacy at the follow-up evaluation of post-therapy lymphoma patients.
