Abstract
57 patients with histologically or cytologically proven lung cancer underwent computed tomography (C.T.) of the thorax as part of a staging procedure. All were considered potentially resectable.22 of these patients have been the subject of a previous report.19 patients had malignant involvement of the mediastinum, and C.T. Scanning detected 16 of these (Sensitivity = 84%). In 38 patients with a clear mediastinum, the Scan report was correct in 29 (Specificity = 76%). There were 3 false negative and 9 false positive results.Keywords
