[The chest picture in the intensive care station as visualized by digital luminescence radiography].

To date there have been occasional reports on the technical aspects and accounts of the clinical use of digital radiography. There has, however, been a lack of reports on the clinical use of the technique in a large number of patients. We report our experience concerning more than 1250 chest x-rays on patients in intensive care; these have been carried out since December 1987, using a digital system. The method produces improvement in the radiological diagnosis of patients in intensive care; this is due to avoidance of incorrect exposures, the ability to obtain lateral films, consistent exposures and the ability to manipulate and store images electronically.

[Advanced pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis].

A severe course of microlithiasis alveolaris pulmonum in a 28-year old patient is described. The disease, which had progressed to a very advanced stage at the time of examination, produced in the plain radiograph of the thorax an extensive, homogeneous, ground-glass like shadow of practically all organs of the thorax. The typical miliary (spot-like) shadow ("sandstorm lung") is visible only in the lateral and apical parts of the lung. CT revealed massive calcareous deposits which increased in craniocaudal and ventrodorsal direction. Bullous metaplasia of the lung was particularly striking in the apical region. No effective therapy is known so far. A combined heart and lung transplantation might be the only therapy that could prolong the patient's life.

[Diagnostic accuracy of FT3-RIA and FT4-RIA compared to total T3-RIA and total T4-RIA].

The values of FT3-serum concentration (Amerlex-RIA) from 311 patients and the FT4-values (Amerlex-RIA) from 745 patients were compared with the total T3- and total T4-values with regard to their diagnostic accuracy in hypo-, eu- and hyperthyroidism. The classification of patients into these three diagnostic categories was determined by the majority of available parameters. The analysis of the predictive values demonstrated that determination of free hormones usually guarantees a safe distinction between hypo-, eu- and hyperthyroidism. Taking into account prevalence, the determination of free hormones appears to be superior to that of total hormones.
