title: [The role of thoracic radiography in the intensive care unit of a department of internal medicine].
abstract: Authors review the main principles of chest X-ray examination methodology and analyse their one-year material. During this time 225 chest X-ray films were taken by means of a mobile X-ray unit. The majority of patients were treated for cardiac disorders (e.g. AMI). Authors analyse the distribution of patients according to their illnesses, the correlation between the clinical and the radiological diagnoses and the quality of the X-ray films. Authors emphasize the importance of the correct collaboration between the staff of the intensive care unit and the radiological department.
