Forty-eight had lung problems, and 61 evaluated because mediastinal mass or widening, for detection an occult thymoma myasthenia gravis. Computed value staging bronchogenic carcinoma, particularly direct pleural extension, evaluating solitary multiple nodules by detecting additional lesions calcification. Thymomas not detected conventional imaging modalities visualized 4 33 gravis red cell aplasia. One these false positive. In 28 widening roentgenogram, incremental information noted CT 22.
