[An experience in using a formalized protocol in describing digital fluorograms].

The case study deals with designing the formalized flow for digital photofluorogram and with results of their clinical testing. Recommendations are defined for improving the protocol program.

[Digital fluorographs for early detection and diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis].

Under the conditions of out health care system it is best to install first small-dose digital fluorographs at urban polyclinics and use as movable plants. The basis of a diagnostic study of pulmonary tuberculosis is to monitor X-ray changes in the process by a series of X-ray images and tomographic scans. At the same time paper imprints obtained by printers (including laser ones) lose as much as 30% of image details so computer images rather than hard paper copies should be used for comparison in practice of the X-ray units of dispensaries.

[Potentialities of digital low-dose x-ray apparatus in the diagnosis of heart and lung diseases].

The paper presents experience in clinically testing a digital low-dose X-ray apparatus. X-ray studies were performed in 169 patients: 140 with cardiovascular abnormalities and 19 with lung diseases. The findings show the high quality of images of thoracic aorta and lung structures.
