Fluorography

The method of fluorographic study was first demonstrated in 1896. Through 1 year after the discovery of X-rays Bleier (JMBleyer), who constructed the first fotoflyuoroskop. In 1924. in Rio de Janeiro, opened the first photofluorographic Center for detection of tuberculosis of the lungs. Since then the method has occupied a leading place in the diagnosis of lung diseases, not just TB but other nosological units, in particular, occupational diseases and lung cancer.

Popularity fluorography provided by the following factors:

1. increasing the capacity and, hence, the breadth of subjects,
2. reduce the cost of research,
3. reducing radiation exposure to personnel and patients,
4. convenience store archives.

In our country major contribution to the development and introduction of fluorography made KV Pomeltsov, J. L. Schick, SA Reinberg, IL Tager et al Fluorography was massive, mandatory by the survey with an annual clinical examination of the population. In the 90 years, when attention to the dispensary work has been reduced, fluorographic service has lost clarity of the work that is bound to affect the increasing number of "running" lung cancers, increased incidence of tuberculosis.

At present, deemed to be correct brand name viagra previous standards fluorographic surveys, namely: every healthy person should be tested once a year. Naturally, if there were complaints of cough, shortness of breath, weakness, the patient should be examined immediately.

It should be noted that the method itself has undergone significant changes and improvements. Beginning with melkokadrovyh (24x24mm and 32x32 mm) photographs, was transferred to fluorography krupnokadrovoy (70x70 mm and 110x110 mm), which greatly facilitated the interpretation of the painting.

A fundamental transformation method was subjected to the development of low-doze digital fluorography. This unique technique will not only reduce the radiation dose the patient more than 4 times, but get a quality image on a computer screen, which can be reproduced on paper using a laser printer and can also be archived on magneto-optical media and stored for many years.

X-ray department of our clinic have gone to work with digital fluorography domestic production (Reneks-fluorite, JV Gelpik ") from September 2000 Mance procedure within one month, we appreciated its advantages:

1. Radiation dose in the study decreased in 4 - 5 times.
2. Modernizing labor roentgenographer doctor and radiologist.
3. Data about the patient entered into the computer database. Freeing the physician from routine paperwork, the method allows more attention to the direct analysis of the image. The latter is of high quality and is not distorted by the projection of the chest on the screen. Ability to adjust the final image (an increase of interest, adjust brightness and contrast) extends the capabilities of the diagnostician.
4. Work roentgenographer also significantly easier and more creative: imaging of real-time laboratory assistant can monitor its quality, consult with your doctor about the need for additional pictures. All this greatly reduces the number of patients after doobsledovany fluorography part of which stipulates the marriage of the film, improper Viagra the mechanism of erection installation of the patient, unsuccessfully matched modes.

From September 2000 to September 2001 we surveyed 5,758 people., Of which men -1,948 people., Women -3,810 people. By age groups surveyed were as follows: up to 30 years - 562 people. 30 to 40 years -1108 people., 40 to 60 years - 1,189 people. Over 60 years - 2,209 people. In this age-related changes were detected in 117 people., Pneumonia in 28 people., Metatuberkuleznye changes in 117 people., Infiltrative tuberculosis of 2 people., Lung cancer - in 2 people.

Thus:

* Digital fluorography is a modern method of investigation of the lungs;
* Can be used both for preventive examinations, and as a diagnostic method;
* Promote the early detection of pathological changes in the lungs, such as tuberculosis and cancer;
* Allows for qualitative diagnostics at the lowest doses, economic and labor costs.
