[Xeroradiography in the radiological diagnosis of the extremities and soft tissues (author's transl)]. 1977

R Pálvölgyi, and Z Péntek, and A Csanaky

The authors carried out comparative examinations on 30 patients in order to determine whether xeroradiography had any advantages over film techniques in the examination of the soft tissues of the extremities. The xerograms show fatty degeneration of muscle fibres margins of individual muscles, calcification, oedema and so on, more clearly and are therefore of more value in diagnosis. The saving in time, using xerograms, is significant and conventional photo-copies can be obtained without logetronics.
