    Abstract:
    In 84 patients with suspected intrathoracic neoplasms we compared the accuracy of conventional radiography, 55 degrees posterior oblique tomography, and contrast-enhanced dynamic incremental computed tomography (CT) in evaluation of the pulmonary hilum. We found dynamic incremental CT to be better than either conventional radiography or oblique tomography in hilar evaluation. In addition, significant information was detected in extrahilar and extramediastinal locations by CT in 21% of patients. This study, unlike earlier reports, indicates a role for CT in hilar evaluation.
