[Computed tomographic and roentgenologic findings in bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma of the lung]

Eighteen patients with alveolar carcinomas (ten solitary, eight disseminated) were examined pre-operatively by CT and conventional radiography and the results were compared. The 'pleura fingers' and air bronchogram were shown by conventional tomography as often as by CT in the solitary cases. In the disseminated form, CT is superior by showing small foci in the opposite lung.
