[Evaluation of findings in computerized tomography and other diagnostic methods in pulmonology]

The work has presented a retrospective study of 123 clinica patients, who underwent the chest computerized tomography (CT). With the aim to evaluate the possibilities and importance of CT in diagnosis and therapy of the different pathologic processes, CT results were analysed in relation to other diagnostic methods results. The superiority over conventional radiography (including fluoroscopy and conventional tomography) and importance in evaluation of mediastinal anomalies and pulmonary nodules were confirmed in defining the stages of neoplasms according to TNM system the planning and follow-up of therapy results. CT is not a tissue specific method; the invasive methods are necessary for the definitive histologic diagnosis.
