[Organizational and methodological approaches to using digital X-ray fluorography in the diagnosis of lung diseases in practical public health care of the Russian Federation].
On the basis of a great body of information, the authors propose the most reasonable and effective organizational and methodological approaches to further actively introducing digital lung fluography into Russia's practical public health care. The paper discusses a diversity of topical problems associated with the practical use of digital X-ray fluorography (DXF), such as the assessment of its use depending on the level (municipal or regional) of public health care, methodological issues of its performance, current relationships of DXF and film fluorography; a place of DXF in the screening and routine clinical diagnosis of lung diseases. Great emphasis is laid on the role of DXF in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and cancer of the lung. The place and role of Russian manufacturers of digital lung fluorographs in the further development of SXF in practical public health care of Russia are also touched upon. The authors emphasize that replacement of film fluorography by digital one will present difficulties if regional and municipal health administrators do not take an active part in this matter.
