Use of computed tomography in the detection of pulmonary nodules
Mayo Clinic Proceedings
|June 1, 1977
Abstract:
The ability of computed tomography of the lungs to detect pulmonary nodules was compared with that of conventional chest roentgenography and whole-lung tomography. Computed tomography detected more pulmonary nodules in 10 of 29 patients studied with both computed tomography and whole-lung tomography. Computed tomography of the lungs is the most accurate noninvasive method available for detecting pulmonary nodules.
