  • Title: [Digital image intensifier radiography and film-screen combinations in pulmonary nodules].
    Author: Dölken W, Krahe T, Landwehr P, Jenett M.
    Journal: Rofo; 1989 Aug; 151(2):131-7. PubMed ID: 2548236.
    Abstract:
    30 patients with known or suspected pulmonary nodules were examined using a digital image intensifier radiography system, a conventional radiography system and a tomography of the whole lung. 73.8% of the pulmonary nodules detected with tomography were also detected with the digital system, 69.1% with the conventional system. There was no significant difference between the two systems comparing false positive and false negative diagnoses. Regarding the dose reduction to nearly 25% of that of a conventional examination the digital technique should be preferred to the conventional technique, if pulmonary nodules are suspected.
