. Radiographie, Röntgentherapeutika und Radiumtherapie . l Strahl aus der Röhre kann immer durch eine plumb-Linie über der Oberseite der Couch operieren lokalisiert werden. Dies kann auch verwendet werden, um das Zentrum der Platte genau in der Mitte des zu untersuchenden Teils zu bekommen. Der zu untersuchende Teil des Patienten sollte immer so nah wie möglich an der Platte liegen. Auf dem Tisch muss eine Art Kompression angewendet werden, um die Teile so leise wie möglich zu halten. Bei Verwendung des Siebstandes wird das Teil zuerst mit Hilfe des Leuchtstoffschirms untersucht, und 96 EADIOGRAPHY wird das Diaphragma auf die Abdeckung eingestellt

. Radiography, x-ray therapeutics and radium therapy . l ray from the tube can always be located by means of a plumb-lineoperating over the top of the couch. This may also be used for getting thecentre of the plate exactly in the centre of the part to be examined. The part of the patient to be examined should always be as close tothe plate as possible. On the couch some form of compression must beemployed to keep the parts as quiet as possible. When the screening-standis used, the part is first examined by the aid of the fluorescent screen, and 96 EADIOGRAPHY the diaphragm adjusted to cover the part required. The fluorescent screenis replaced by the X-ray plate in a casette and clamped in position, and thepatient may be fixed by a strong linen band or a bandage. The shorter theexposure the less risk is there of movement on the part of the patient spoilingthe result. The Use of the Intensifying Screen Though negatives obtained by the use of the intensifying screen maynot perhaps be of the same high technical quality as the best radiographs.

Note the detail in soft parts. made by powerful installations without a screen, it should be noted thatwhen skilfully used, pictures so obtained with apparatus of moderate powerare, from a diagnostic point of view, of much greater value than thoseobtained without a screen. This is especially the case when radiographingparts of the body where movements are constantly going on, as in the chestand abdomen. The plate must not be over-exposed, otherwise grain, dueto contact with the screen, is bound to appear. A soft tube also is necessarywhen the screen is used, and it should be noted that there is not quite thesame degree of latitude in the matter of exposure
