[Emission computed tomography--new radiodiagnostic method]
Abstract:
A total of 224 patients with different diseases of the brain, lungs, heart, focal and chronic liver diseases, voluminous kidney changes and metastatic bone lesions were examined. A new radiodiagnostic method of emission computerized tomography was used in correlation with planar scintigraphy and x-ray computerized tomography. The author showed the value of the method in the diagnosis of the disturbed blood circulation of the organs. Its potentialities in the diagnosis of focal lesions were considered. A high informative value of the method as compared to statistical scintigraphy was noted.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
