Thorax x-ray is an overview or sighting study of anatomical structures located in the thoracic cavity by obtaining their X-ray image. The overview radiographs show the structure of the chest bones, the condition of the lung tissue, the pulmonary pattern, the roots of the lungs, the shadow of the mediastinum. Fluorography is used as a screening method of examination. Fluoroscopy of the lungs gives an idea of their functional state during respiratory movements, is used during punctures of the pleural cavity and various formations. For better visualization of the organs under study, contrast enhancement can be used (for example, when performing bronchography, heart x-ray, ventriculography)
Fluorography is a preventive and diagnostic method of X-ray examination of the chest cavity and lungs. Fluorography is a screening study for the detection of cancer, tuberculosis and occupational lung diseases, recommended for healthy individuals once a year. Fluorograms are images of 70×70 or 110×110 mm in size, less informative compared to standard radiographs, but…
Lung x-ray is a method of general radiological examination, which consists in obtaining radiographs in direct and lateral (right or left) projections. The choice of projection is determined by the task of the study and the localization of the pathological process. Lung x-ray in projections is used to diagnose tumor, inflammatory, systemic diseases, malformations, traumatic…
Chest x-ray is an radiography examination, the purpose of which is to assess the condition of bone structures, to identify pathological processes in the pleural cavity and lung tissue. It is prescribed for suspected hemo- or pneumothorax with multiple rib fractures and combined trauma. It is performed to control the condition of the lungs during…
Bronchography is a method of special radiopaque examination, which allows to obtain a distinct shadow image of the macrostructure of the tracheobronchial tree. It allows to diagnose bronchiectasis, intraluminal tumors, stenosis, obstruction of the bronchus by a foreign body, to determine the level of localization of the lesion for subsequent resection. It is performed by…
