  • Title: [Radiographic differential diagnosis of surgical diseases of the lungs: diagnostic errors and their causes].
    Author: Karmazanovskiĭ GG, Tolkacheva GS.
    Journal: Vestn Rentgenol Radiol; 1997; (2):16-20. PubMed ID: 9157662.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the reasons for complete divergences between the results of complex radiation study and the morphological verification of a diagnosis. A hundred and fifty cases with peripheral and central diseases of the lung were examined. There were 16 (10.7%) divergences of CT and X-ray conclusions with the histological verification of a diagnosis. The reasons of errors of complex radiation diagnosis were due both to the same type of symptoms, their latency and subjective ideas when the symptoms were analyzed. The greatest differentially diagnostic difficulties arose when peripheral formations were estimated.
