Case Reports
[High-resolution computed tomography for diagnosing pulmonary complications in patients with lung cancer].
The diagnostic value of high-resolution computed tomography has been assessed in 10 lung cancer patients with pulmonary infiltrates. This method was used to evaluate the radiographic appearance of the new pulmonary disease. ⋯ In some patients, the flexible bronchofiberscopy that was accompanied by bronchoalveolar lavage was performed so as to establish the etiologic diagnosis. In conclusion, high-resolution computed tomography was found to be useful in diagnosing pulmonary complications in lung cancer patients.
