pubmed-article:2552648 | pubmed:abstractText | X-ray and morphological signs were compared in 50 patients with histologically verified bronchioloalveolar cancer (BAC). Particular attention was drawn to a study of an x-ray picture after computer processing of a tomographic image using a special technique. The most characteristic x-ray signs of BAC were subpleural localization, the presence of a fragmented scar in a tumor, and ill defined outlines. The peculiarities of an x-ray picture of small-size BAC were determined by the morphological structure of a tumor, a degree of its differentiation that could be detected in most cases only after image processing by the linear filtration technique. | lld:pubmed |
