  • Title: [The value of computer tomography in the diagnosis of chest wall tumors].
    Author: Rotte KH, Kriedemann E.
    Journal: Arch Geschwulstforsch; 1983; 53(5):441-8. PubMed ID: 6360072.
    Abstract:
    Conventional roentgen diagnosis of chest wall tumors, especially with reference to the expansion in the soft tissue, is limited. The computed tomographic examinations in 35 patients with tumors of the chest wall and pleura demonstrate the great value of this method for localization and the judgement of tumor spreading. CT-controlled fine-needle biopsy can clarify the diagnosis. Computed tomography is important for decision and planning of surgical and radiation therapy.
