[X-ray equipment for standardized diagnostic radiology in intensive care units (author's transl)].

Abstract

The increasing demands made by intensive care medicine on chest and abdominal radiography and on angiography have created the need for new X-ray equipment that combines short exposure with high tension. Battery-operated medium-frequency generators have an adequate output to satisfy these demands. For visualizing peripheral vessels in intensive care patients xeroradiographic arteriography has proved its value.
