[Computerized tomography in the differential diagnosis of biliopancreatoduodenal diseases].

The paper is concerned with analysis of CT-investigation of 150 patients with diseases of the biliopancreatoduodenal area, whose diagnosis was verified histologically or by clinical observation over time, using other methods, (USI, RCPG, etc.). The authors have arrived at a conclusion that for increasing the informative value of CT one should use various methods of a contrast study of the duodenum and biliary tract, electron reconstruction of CT images in different projections.

[Computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of biliary, duodenal and pancreatic diseases].

The paper is concerned with analysis of CT-investigation of 150 patients with diseases of the bilio-pancreatoduodenal area, whose diagnosis was verified histologically or by clinical observation over time, using other methods (USI, RCPG, etc.). The authors have arrived at a conclusion that for increasing the informative value of CT one should use various methods of a contrast study of the duodenum and biliary tract, electron reconstruction of CT images in different projections.

[Optimization of computed tomographic studies during the diagnosis of chronic nonspecific lung diseases].

A comparative study was made of computerized tomograms of 115 patients, of them 78 suffered from nonspecific chronic pulmonary diseases (chronic bronchitis, bullous emphysema, spontaneous pneumothorax, and fibrosing alveolitis), and 37 patients were healthy. Of all transverse sections the most informative ones were defined, and anatomical reference points were determined for. A conclusion was made that computerized tomograms at 5 most informative levels were sufficient to diagnose changes in each of the lung segments in their diffuse affection.
