[Clinical and evolutive characteristics of bronchial cancers discovered by systematic X-ray examinations (author's
Abstract:
The characteristics of broncho-pulmonary cancers discovered during systematic X-ray were studied over an 11 year period by comparison with cancers discovered through their symptoms. The operability of first group patients was definitely superior (62.5% against 36.7%y and so was the 5 year survival (18.7 against 5.5%). These differences are statistically significant and should be remembered, before the results of extensive anglo-saxon surveys be known, about the value of X-ray detection of bronchial cancer--at least in high risk patients.

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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
