In marked chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema, especially in the classical emphysematous type of abnormal thorax, a good correlation can be found between the anteroposterior expansion of the thorax, the reduced inspiratory capacity, the clinical state, disturbed mechanics of breathing and the x-ray-state. On the contrary, in clinical emphysema of a lower degree, especially in subclinical, i. e. in predominantly asymptomatic pulmonary emphysema of the elderly, the effectiveness of the roentgenological examination is very small.
