[Computed tomography in pre-irradiation topometry applied to diseases of the thoracic organs]. / Komp'iuternaia tomografiia v predluchevoi topometrii pri zabolavaniiakh organov grudnoi kletki.

ABSTRACT

The authors describe methods of pre-irradiation topometry in patients with thoracic tumors. They are based on patients' examination using an X-ray simulator and a computerized tomograph. The superiority of these methods over the previously used conventional methods was shown. The authors presented 77 cases observed by them. Radiation therapy plans in 48% of the patients were changed as a result of pre-irradiation investigation.
