title: [Digital image intensifier radiography and film-screen combinations in pulmonary nodules].
abstract: 30 patients with known or suspected pulmonary nodules were examined using a digital image intensifier radiography system, a conventional radiography system and a tomography of the whole lung. 73.8% of the pulmonary nodules detected with tomography were also detected with the digital system, 69.1% with the conventional system. There was no significant difference between the two systems comparing false positive and false negative diagnoses. Regarding the dose reduction to nearly 25% of that of a conventional examination the digital technique should be preferred to the conventional technique, if pulmonary nodules are suspected.
