Comparative Study[Comparison of the data of computed tomography and bacteriological studies in the complicated forms of primary tuberculosis in children and adolescents].
To establish the causes of bacterial excretion in complicated primary tuberculosis in children and adolescents, by comparing the data of computed tomography and the results of bacteriological studies. ⋯ When computed tomography reveals the disseminated forms of primary tuberculosis with the concomitant involvement of lung tissue and intrathoracic lymph nodes in the presence of lung destructive changes, with the involvement of a few organs and systems in the pathological process, it is necessary to use all bacteriological studies, including culnolecular genetic methods, in order to establish the etiology of existing changes.

Comparative Study[Use of dual-energy computed tomographic angiopulmonography in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy].
To estimate the contribution of dual-energy computed tomographic (CT angiopulmonography t o a diagnostic algorithm in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and its role in the evaluation of postoperative changes. ⋯ Information on the vascular bed and pulmonary perfusion may be obtained in patients with CTEPH within one investigation, which is important to plan surgical treatment. Construction of iodine pulmonary perfusion maps allows evaluation of perfusion recovery after artery thromboendarterectomy.
