[Color decoding of roentgenograms and scintigrams of malignant lung neoplasms]

The authors have shown that the color decoding of x-ray-radioisotope information on 50 lung cancer patients (150 radiograms and 80 scannograms) raised the diagnostic efficacy. It opens up opportunities for the objective quantitative processing of results by performing histographic analysis of similar optical density zones. These data are impossible to obtain by using common methods of visual and roentgenogrammetric analysis. TV decoders of UAR-1 type are recommended for clinical practice.
