[X-ray installations for gastrointestinal diagnosis. The technical state of the art and problems (author's transl)].
Today, the X-ray industry offers a side range of products with varying facilities and prices for the X-ray examinations of the gastrointestinal tract. All the further stages of development from the simple unit to the highly sophisticated installation have a common aim: The earliest, reliable diagnosis, as the prerequisite for early and effective therapy. Certain expenditures are necessary to achieve this objective. The main point is to find the optimum, wherein the requirements of the user, the technical possibilities and the costs are matched to one an other. Besides the enhancement of image quality in both, fluoroscopy and radiography, improvements in working conditions and the automation of technical processes also contribute to improving the diagnostic possibilities. The technically sophisticated installations guarantee a uniform standard of the pictures "documented", so that the examiner can concentrate more intensively on the medical problems. The introduction of fluoroscopy via image intensifier and TV has led not only to improvements in the conventional examination unit, but also to the realization of a new unit conception which, because of more universal application, can be more economically used, and because of new projections, provides additional information. Each X-ray installation must be configurated according to its specific medical application.
