[Pneumonia morbidity in the personnel of x-ray offices]
Abstract:
Pneumonia incidence in roentgenologists was studied on the basis of temporary disability certificates for the period of 5 years. A significant increase in pneumonia incidence was noted, which gives the grounds to consider this disease as occupationally dependent for this category of people. A quantitative dependence of pneumonia incidence on the value of the accumulated collective dose during the period under study was established.

Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
