[Abdominal tomoradiometry: its possibilities].

Abstract

Computer-assisted tomography opens up a new diagnostic chapter in research on abdominal lesions. The display of very faint contrasts, and the possibility of modulating them and of strengthening them by opacifying agents, afford hitherto unknown differentiations. The obtaining of cross-sections is another advantage of this method. Its use for study of the various abdominal organs is reviewed.
