Visualization of Cavities in Post-Thoracoplasty Lungs

Preliminary Report

J. L. LEON M.D.1; H. GREEN M.D.1; and C. A. SERBST M.D.1

1 Staten Island, New York

The difficult problem of demonstrating a cavity in the positive post-thoracoplasty lung field is outlined.

A method of visualization of cavities in post-thoracoplasty lung fields is presented. The basis of this method is given.

Cavities with shifting fluid levels were visualized in seven out of eighteen selected cases by this method after ordinary methods had been inconclusive.

The need of persistent and cautious study is emphasized.

The limitations of the method are discussed.

The method is offered as an adjunct in the diagnosis of cavities and by no means as an exclusive measure.
