[Linear tomographic scan filtration in the diagnosis of pulmonary globular and cavitary masses]

To enhance the informative value and validity of X-ray study in detecting destructive changes in infiltrates, tuberculomas, and blocked caverns, the authors treated their computed tomographic scans by linear spatial filtration and identification of equidensite fields. In this case, after treatment of an image, the phase of decay in the presence of filtrates was 14.2% and increased up to 36.1%. Cavernous processes are detectable when the scans of blocked caverns that are frequently taken as infiltrates are treated.
