title: [Indications and value of chest radiography in patients with respiratory insufficiency (author's transl)].
abstract: Chest X-rays of patients with respiratory insufficiency provide different information depending on the stage of the disease. The indications for chest radiography should, therefore, be determined by whether the examination is intended to establish the diagnosis and causes of the respiratory disease, to arrive at the differential diagnosis or test the efficacy of treatment.
