Results showed that CT was more sensitive than conventional X-ray in depicting the characteristic signs such as spiculate protuberance, minute calcifications, small vacuole sign and retraction of pleura. 2 mm thin slice CT scanning is helpful in differential diagnosis of lesions less than 2 cm in diameter. Correlation of CT findings with pathology indicated that spiculate protuberance was caused by infiltrative growth of tumor, whereas the small vacuole sign represented remnant of air containing cavity or slit. The shaggy border of inflammatory nodule was the result of extension of inflammatory process. A correct diagnosis of pulmonary solitary nodule lies in comprehensive analysis of CT manifestations. There is greater possibility of malignancy with mass greater than 4 cm in diameter, lobulation and spiculation are frequently present.

Shrinkage of the embolized segment and focal infarct of the liver were noticed in nearly half of the specimens both grossly and microscopically. The shape and structure of the microspheres were seen unchanged on different-phase specimens, and microspheres as small as 50 microns could reach the corresponding small peripheral arterioles.
