Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Insight (Insight, Kodak, UK) is a new dual image receptor system which utilizes an asymmetric film screen combination. Conventional radiography was compared with the Insight system, in combination with a cassette incorporating a flexible grid, in fifty patients on the intensive care unit. Radiographs were analysed by intensive care junior medical staff, nursing staff and two groups of radiologists. Insight provided better visualization of lung parenchyma, mediastinal detail and position of endotracheal tubes than conventional radiography. Central venous catheters were generally seen better on conventional radiographs than on Insight. Insight system produces a significant improvement in plain chest radiography in the intensive care unit. In the absence of digital radiography it is a suitable technique for routine radiography in the intensive care unit. |
