[Comparative study of xeroradiography and filmradiography (2700 statistically evaluated tests) (author's transl)]

Bases on more than 2700 statistically evaluated, comparative filmradiographic thoracic organs, abdomen and vascular and lymphatic system, the value of xeroradiography was analyzed by a standardized process. We came to the conclusion that, in certain cases, xeroradiography is superior (example: head-neck-soft tissues), equal (example: cranial area) or inferior (example: abdomen) to conventional X-ray film techniques. The xeroradiographic procedure has advantages for the radiologist if he does not try to use it as a substitute for the conventional X-ray film technique.
