[Effective energy values of 90 degree scattered photons during urological and bronchial fluoroscopy].

During fluoroscopic bladder and bronchial examinations the radiation workers concerned are exposed to 90 degrees--scattered photons. The effective energy expressed in mm AI was measured for these photons exited at tube potentials in the 60--100 kV RANGE. An increase also depends on whether the measurements are made in the direction of the long axis or the short axis of the phantom. These findings are contrary to the recommendations stipulated in the code of practice SABS 07-1972.

Increases in diagnostic yield of fiberoptic bronchoscopy by fluoroscopy.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in 46 patients in the evaluation of pulmonary lesions. Twenty-five of the patients had lung cancer; the remainder had benign lesions. Definitive diagnosis was established in all patients by a combination of forceps biopsy, brush biopsy, bronchial aspiration, and post-bronchoscopy sputum studies. All endoscopically visible lesions were diagnosed by forceps biopsy. Fluoroscopic localization of biopsy forceps and brush made the yield in peripheral, nonvisualized lesions almost equal to that of more central lesions. Fluoroscopic control markedly increases the diagnostic yield in fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
