[The possibility of using computed tomography in the diagnosis of silicosis and silicotuberculosis]. / K voprosu o vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniia komp'iuternoi tomograffi v diagnostike silikoza i silikotuberkuleza.

ABSTRACT

Potentials of computed tomography application to occupational pulmonology are not identified yet, hence it has a limited utility in this sphere. Computed tomography combined with roentgenologic methods serves to specify the origin and size of affected mediastinal nodes, to distinguish between silicotic and silicotuberculotic affects and nodules. Additional data are required.
