[Use of an automatic switch mechanism during diagnostic radiological procedures of pulmonary affections in babies and infants (author's transl)].

Abstract

The authors report their experience with the use of an automatic switch mechanism allowing continuous pulmonary radiograms during deep inspiration in babies and infants. The apparatus is easy to use and the films can be taken almost as quickly as normal radiograms. This automatic switch mechanism is particularly useful for polypnoeic infants and should be employed more widely.
