title: [Medical equipment at the Leipzig Fall Fair, 1978].
abstract: This is an attempt to reveal the main directions and trends in the medical technique progress, as evidenced by the most interesting exhibits at the 1978 Autumn Leipzig Fair. Advantages of the functional-block designing method were noted, seen in the instruments made for clinical diagnostic laboratories. Promising features are emphasized, intrinsic for units intended for reconstructive X-ray tomography, autoanalysers for studying blood, enzymes and substrates, as well as for ultrasonic diagnostic devices. The latter provide a combination of A and B-mode echography, or the M-type scanning with Doppler ultrasonic pulse investigation. Such a combination allows to fix on the echogram the precise position of the structure being investigated by the Doppler approach.
