[A comparative evaluation of lung ventilation in patients with dust-caused bronchitis and pneumoconiosis using roentgenpneumopolygraphy].
The results of roentgenpneumopolygraphy in 290 coal miners are analyzed. Localized diffuse ventilation disorders are detected, that are most pronounced in the upper and central lung regions. In all patients with dust bronchitis local and diffuse emphysematous ventilation disorder was detectable. In all patients with pneumoconiosis combined functional and morphologic changes were found. The use of x-ray function tests in coal miners facilitates an early detection of pathologic lung processes.
