    Author: Lackner K, Felix R, Oeser H, Wegener OH, Bücheler E, Buurman R, Heuser L, Mödder U, Thurn P.
    Journal: Radiologe; 1979 Mar; 19(3):79-89. PubMed ID: 441299.
    Abstract:
    In 400 examinations of the thorax results of computer tomography were compared with respective pa chest films and conbentional tomograms. In the peripheral areas of the lung, interstitial parenchymal alterations and metastases were better visualized by CT. The size of central bronchial carcinomas and space-occupying lesions of the thoracic wall can be determined with greater accuracy by CT. Primary tumors, lymphnode enlargement and vascular alterations can be differentiated and localized more precisely by CT. The size of the heart chambers, intracavitary tumors as well as septal and myocardial wall thickness can be determined non invasively.
