LUNG TUMORS 151 useful also in elucidating the exact point of origin of thecyst, a thing particularly difficult in some cases. Careful observation of the cyst picture taken with thepatient in different positions will be very useful in thislocalization. If the outline is clearer, the shadow less extensive in thefrontal anterior position, for example, it can be concludedthat the tumor is situated in front. A new examination inthe oblique and transverse position will confirm this fin
