Therefore, chest X-ray and lung ultrasound are today's contenders for shared second place on the podium to acquire a thoracic image, with their specific strengths and limitations. Finally, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) could soon have a role, however, its assessment is outside the ...
The purpose of this retrospective study was to intra-individually compare the image quality of computed radiography (CR) and low-dose linear-slit digital radiography (LSDR) for supine chest radiographs. A total of 90 patients (28 female, 62 male; mean age, 55.1 years) imaged with CR and LS...
Exclusion criteria were: age < 18 years, tracheostomy, pregnancy, major trauma, barotrauma (presence of extra-alveolar air during mechanical ventilation as assessed by daily chest X ray) and hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure < 80 or > 160 mm Hg, heart rate < 50 bpm or > 130 ...
12. Methods: Using a Hologic QDR 4500A fan beam X-ray bone densitometer to measure the BMD at different skeletal regions (anteroposterior and supine lateral spine, hip, and forearm) in 1810 women between the ages of 15～96 from Changsha city in the People's Republic of China, the populati...
When it is desired to introduce a probe or interventional medical device to tissues, it is often necessary to remove the patient from the imager's imaging volume. This is the case for various designs of MRI, PET, CT and when C-arm X-ray is used—either the patient is removed from the...

x-raysRationale and Objectives: Basal lung opacities are frequently observed on supine chest x-ray (SCXR) of intensive care patients, causing insecurity among clinicians and radiologists. We sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of SCXR for basal pneumonia.Kunz, Wolfgang G.Patzig, Maximilian...
The Value of Supine Chest X-Ray in the Diagnosis of Pneumonia in the Basal Lung ZonesPneumoniaradiographythoraciccritical carex-raysInterpreting only highly suspicious basal opacities as pneumonia considerably increases the PPV with almost constant NPV. Clinicians and radiologists should be aware of the...
Chest radiographypneumothoraxblunt traumacomputed tomography (CT)Background: In patients with multiple trauma, a supine chest radiography [chest X-ray (CXR)] is preferred over a erect CXR. However, this method has limitations in detecting post-traumatic pneumothorax. The use of chest computed ...
