  • Title: [X-ray-video amplifier photography: use in urologie X-ray diagnosis and renovasography (author's transl)].
    Author: Faul P, Engels HE.
    Journal: Urologe A; 1978 May; 17(3):137-42. PubMed ID: 653903.
    Abstract:
    Our experiences indicate that the 'urograph', in combination with the 100-mm sheet-film camera, represents an x-ray apparatus that is just about optimally suited to the needs of urologic x-ray diagnoses. Only in extreme situations is the range of movement of the tabletop in the direction of the head and feet insufficient. A major advantage of the camera, and the one which, above all, plays a decisive role in the urologic x-ray diagnosis of children, is that the amount of radiation can be reduced by about 1/2 to 1/3 that necessary with conventional photo techniques. Through optimal use of the apparatus, considerable time and personnel can be saved. In view of the additional fact that kidney angiographs can be performed with this apparatus, in combination with the 100-mm camera, with minimal problems, minimal time, and minimal stress for the patient, x-ray-video amplifier photography represents an important addition to urologic x-ray examination possibilities that today we can no longer afford to do without.
