Thorax investigation was carried out using a device manufactured by Siemens Company (Germany) in two projections (frontal and lateral), supported by tomograms. Biophilia NLS-graphy was carried out using Biophilia NLS system (IPP, Russia) equipped with high-frequency generator of 4.9 GHz, unit of continuous spiral scanning and professional software “Metapathia GR Clinical”, which allowed to carry out three-dimensional visualization of lungs.

During the research we used Biophilia NLS-ultramicroscanning mode with spectral-entropic analysis (SEA), allowing to evaluate spectral similarity of affected lung tissues to “Aspergillus fumigatus” etalon. During the initial fulfillment of Biophilia NLS-graphy of thorax organs, the examination was dome in three-dimensional mode mainly.
Differing from two-dimensional scanning it allowed to exclude a possibility of small pathological lesions (nidi, cavities, bronchiectasis, etc.) missing, and to increase a resolution along longitudinal axis of scanning in order to check lateral structures, located perpendicularly or at an angle to Biophilia NLS-gram plane.
When pathological changes were found, the research was extended with Biophilia NLS-scanning in 4D Tissue mode with NLS-ultramicroscanning of morphological structures in a researched area. Some patients were subjected to repeated Biophilia NLS-studies in order to evaluate dynamics of changes, revealing of complications and monitoring of therapeutic interventions. At assumption of mycotic process dissemination, we carried out Biophilia NLS-ultramicroscanning and SEA of other anatomic regions (abdominal cavity, brain, paranasal sinuses).

Data acquired during the study was processed at a PC IntelPentium 166 MMX using software system Statistica for Windows (version 5.11).
