Abstract
The analysis of the literature data on perfusion computed tomography (PCT) in lung diseases is presented. The description of the research method, the method role in the differential diagnosis of the changes nature in the lungs based on the data of the PCT is given. The issues that require further research are being clarified. It was noted that a PCT can become a method of choice in cases when the computed tomography data do not provide the answer to the question about the nature of detected changes in the lung.
