Computed tomography (CT) of the thyroid gland was performed with computed tomograph (GE CT/T). The photographed images were compaired with the findings of the surgical operations. The conclusions were as follows:The thyroid gland was seen as high density area in CT figure. Some important parameters such as size, shape and position of the tumor could be identified on the CT films. The CT was found to be useful for differentiating cystic lesions from solid tumors. It was difficult to discriminate, however, benign tumors from malignant ones.The size of the thyroid gland with Graves disease was measured on the CT films in order to determine a proper guide for the surgical removal. Further, it was pointed out that a more detailed information might be obtained by an advanced graphic data processing.
