Description

To define X-ray signs of restrictive pneumothorax, the authors analyzed X-ray films of 225 newborns and babies of the first 3 months of life who were examined for respiratory disorders and acute respiratory diseases. Restrictive pneumothorax was detected in 19 . The processing X-ray films on the UAP-2 device enhanced the accuracy of restrictive pneumothorax diagnosis in infants and made it possible to do away an additional X-ray study, which reduced radiation loads
