Radiation safe examinations of lungs

Description

X-ray examinations of the lungs can be done with conventional radiography or photofluorography (mass miniature radiography). Usually only a postero-anterior (P.A.) projection is taken. This booklet gives a general look on conventional radiography and photofluorography, the way the patient must be treated, and the equipment that must be used. This can be seen against the background of radiation safe examinations of lungs
