Except for a few patients examined by plain scan, the rest had spiral CT enhanced scan, the results of it were compared to and pathologic diagnosis after conventional surgery. Results Spiral CT can effectively distinguish central lung mass from atelectasis, while the coincidence rate of surgical pathology in each group was 83% ,81%, 80% and 71.4%, and total coincidence rate was 78.3%.
