MULTISPIRAL COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF THE CHEST WITH BOLUS CONTRAST – NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG DISEASES

Abstract

Mean arterial MSCT attenuations were not significantly different between the two protocols.Multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) with contrast enhancement into clinical practice has expanded the potential possibilities of the method in the visualization of pathological changes in organs and vascular structures. Data analyzed MSCT with contrast enhancement in 137 patients, 36 of whom had a focal pathological process in their lungs and 101 had pulmonary emphysema.
