[Problems with xeroradiography].
The present communication reports our experience with the use of xeroradiography in 158 patients suffering mostly from diseases of the locomotor apparatus. The advantage of this method is its high resolution power which allows a simultaneous visualization of skeletal and soft tissues. It is convenient for studies of lymph nodes within the axillar and mammary regions, of skin thickening, or of the vascular pattern. Multiple localizations of hyperostoses, as well as of ligament and tendon calcifications (osteodesmosis) were demonstrated in 35% of the patients with gout and a hyperuricaemic syndrome. Some illustrations of the usefulness of xeroradiography in some acute conditions and in functional studies of the vocal cords are provided.
