Standardization of cardiopulmonary roentgenograms in infants and children.
Methods were devised to standardize cardiopulmonary radiographs of infants and children. With these techniques, films can be taken either at the end of inspiration and in systole, or at the end of inspiration alone. A statistical evaluation of these two methods demonstrated their superiority over the usual procedure. The use of these techniques is strongly recommended in patients of the pediatric age group.
