Comparative Study
[Can digital selenium-based radiography in thoracic diagnosis replace the analog x-ray imaging technic?].
To find out the diagnostic value of digital selenium radiography, we compared the image quality of chest x-ray images from 50 patients who had been examined via conventional chest x-ray and digital selenium radiography of the chest. ⋯ Compared to analogous techniques there is no loss of image information when employing digital selenium radiography in chest x-rays. On the contrary, new assessment criteria may be gained. We conclude that digital selenium radiography offers diagnostic advantages in chest x-ray examination.
