Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. Morphological structures of different nature in the bronchial walls have different density coefficients on analyzed tomograms.

2. In patients with peribronchial changes of uncertain nature, analysis of images by linear filtration, followed by measurement of densitometric parameters, provides additional information in certain cases for the detection of precancerous state and early forms of tumors. The suggested method may be used in the future on patients with an established diagnosis of lung tumor in order to study the extent of spread of the neoplastic infiltration.
