title: [Equipment for reproducing highly repetitive short spoken instructions in a roentgen department].
abstract: When operating a CT unit or when taking x-ray films of the lungs at a high turnover rate, the radiological assistant is usually compelled to ask the patients several hundred times per day to breathe in and to hold the air. For this purpose, the speech unit for short texts was developed on the basis of a digital storage unit to relieve the staff from routine work and to give the patients clear and comprehensible breathing orders at any desired time. This fully electronic digital speech unit has no wearing parts, in contrast to the conventional electromechanical equipment (e.g. tape recorders) and does not require any servicing.
