[High kv films of the lungs with slight dorsal flexion for lesions in the upper lobes (author's transl)].
A high kv technique--145 kv--and dorsal flexion in the a.p. projection has proved advantageous for the demonstration of the lung apices and subclavicular regions. If suitable apparatus is available, the routine use of this method is recommended, particularly for institutes which deal with a high number of pulmonary problems.
