Computed tomography appearance of Golden's "S" sign

J Comput Tomogr. 1984 Jul;8(3):219-23. doi: 10.1016/0149-936x(84)90065-1.

Abstract

The computed tomography version of Golden's "S" sign is strongly suggestive of a centrally obstructing carcinoma. Although more easily seen in the right lung, the "S" sign can be detected in any lobe on computed tomography. The computed tomography appearance of Golden's "S" sign is described and illustrated.
