[Xerotomography of the trachea, bronchi and lungs (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The technical principles and the advantages of tomography with the xeroradiographic procedure were presented. The advantages of xerotomography over against film radiography are the simpler exposure procedure, the high degree of picture clarity, the wide range and the additional possibilities for information connected with it. These advantages were illustrated by a few examples. The disadvantage of this method is the high radiation exposure for the patient. For this reason, stricter indications must be required for this examination.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
