Computerized Tomography of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors

Abstract

We applied Computerized Tomography (CT) as a method of pre-operation examination of bone and soft tissue tumors.
The EMI general purpose scanner (CT 5005-7) provides matrix of 320×320 in a section of 13mm width.
CT was a very useful pre-operation examination, because it exposed more correctly localization of tumor in 3 out of 4 cases than only a ordinary method. CT could not exposed a minute change of soft tissue. Contrast enhansment was seen in a case of osteosarcoma of the femur.
