Description

Two case presentations are used to rank sonography, Ct and NMR imaging in the diagnosis of thorostrastosis, espec. in the light of tumour screening. Results showed sonography to be non-specific and unsuitable for screening examinations, whereas circumscribed hypodense lesions in Ct were indicative of suspected tumour with NMR being applicable as an additional technique to further verify intrahepatic masses of nuclear character. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Anhand von 2 Kasuistiken wird der Stellenwert der Sonographie, CT und Kernspintomographie in der Diagnostik der Thorotrastose, insbesondere im Hinblick auf das Tumor-Screening, dargelegt. Hierbei zeigt sich die Sonographie als unspezifisch und nicht geeignet fuer Screening-Untersuchungen, waehrend umschriebene, hypodense Laesionen im CT als tumorverdaechtig anzusehen sind und bei fraglichen, intrahepatischen Raumforderungen die Kernspintomographie als Zusatzuntersuchung geeignet ist. (orig.)
