[Xero-radiography of the thorax(author's transl)].

In over 150 patients, comparative chest examinations were carried out using films and xerography. The following results were obtained: Using xerography, image quality depends significantly on the size and shape of the imaging structure and on its marginal sharpness. Using a sectional technique and xerography, pulmonary vessels, bronchi, hilar structures and various linear changes are more clearly demonstrated than with ordinary film. Xerography has no advantage in showing changes occupying a large area. Routine use of xerography for chest examinations is limited by the size of the selenium plates and the higher radiation dose required.

[Osteomas of the paranasal sinuses].

Within a period of 16 months, 25 osteomas of the paranasal sinuses were observed. Symptomatology, sex and age distribution, localisation, size at the time of discovery, and rate of growth are reported. An individual radiological technique is indicated, especially concerning the localisation and origin of the paranasal osteomas. This is important in order to plan the course of treatment and the type of surgical procedure.

Xeroradiography of the lymphatics.

Lymphograms of 40 patients were made on xeroradiographic plates and conventional X-ray films. Both imaging procedures are compared in regard to their spatial and contrast resolution. Although xeroradiography offers little advantage in retroperitoneal lymphography, it essentially improves imaging of brachial lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
