title: [Effect of new imaging procedures on conventional roentgen diagnostic methods].
abstract: The diagnostic radiology workload of a general hospital served as basis to assess the statistical distribution of various diagnostic radiology methods and the inroads made by new imaging methods on the conventional ones: CT, DAS, sonography and endoscopy. In particular, the statistical breakdown shows how these methods have been applied in examining the gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys, the gallbladder and biliary tract, and how they have influenced the frequency rate of special examination methods such as angiography and myelography. Statistic assessment of the results obtained during the past ten years shows an increasing predominance of less invasive examination methods and increasing use of endoscopic methods for examining the gastrointestinal tract, the sum total of examinations remaining approximately the same throughout.
