Magnetic-resonance tomography at some diseases of bodies of a thoracal cavity

Abstract

In work the results of a magnetic-resonance tomography (MRT) of bodies of a thoracal cavity at 58 patients and computer tomography (CT) at 52 patients are submitted. The diseases of lungs were shown radiologycal by sets of syndomes of a cavity, shadows and dissimination. The resolving power of two methods, their sensitiviti and accuracy of diagnostics were estimated. The resolving power MRT was comparable to those CT in visualization of cavities and shadows posed in the central departments lungs, conceding it in recognition of the specified sets of syndromes localized in peripheric departments. MRT defined the sizes, form of shadow, presence lobules of a structure, intersections and fabric detritis much more precisely. In diagnostics of disseminated processes in lungs, in an estimation of a condition of a bronchial tree distal VII generation MRT considerably conceded CT.
MRT defined a germination tumours of a diaphragm, pericardium, esophagus, large bronchuses and vessels more precisely, had advantages before CT in diagnostics of the peribronchial forms of a cancer of large bronchuses. It is more effective in diagnostics of tumours of a mediastinum, celomic of cysts pericardium and paracardiac lipomas, it is better visualizes of change of a pleura and small quantities of a liquid in pleural of a cavity.
MRT had no specific attributes allowing to establish the true reason of diseases, to define fabric substratum of pathological formations. The sensitivity MRT was 93.0%, accuracy — 91.4%.
