[Radiation diagnosis of bronchioloalveolar cancer]. / Luchevaia diagnostika bronkhioloal'veoliarnogo raka.

The paper analyzes the results of examination of 260 patients with bronchioloalveolar cancer (BAC) who were followed up at the Russian Research Center of Radiology and Roentgenology for 30 years. It provides its clinical, X-ray, and morphological manifestations and classification and the methodological aspects of differential diagnosis. An optimum radiation diagnosis programme has been drawn up, which involves currently available procedures, including computed tomography. The morphological forms of BAC are given in detail.

[The role of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer]. / Vozmozhnosti rentgenovskoi komp'iuternoi tomografii v diagnostike tsentral'nogo raka lëgkogo.

A CT-examination of 87 patients with various types of central cancer of the lung was carried out. Computed-tomography scanning is a highly-sensitive method of radiodiagnosis which detects respiratory system lesions, stage, predominant area of involvement and condition of adjacent tissues. On the basis of CT-related features of tumor, type and stage can be identified to choose optimal therapy and follow-up.
