  5. 3. Diagnosing pneumonia in primary care : Aspects of the value of clinical and laboratory findings and the use of chest X-ray

    Author : Anna Moberg; Magnus Falk; Jakob Paues; Sven Göran Fransson; Ronny Gunnarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : It is important to identify patients with pneumonia because it is potentially a serious disease, often of bacterial origin, that should be treated with antibiotics. It is equally important to identify those with acute bronchitis, a self-limiting disease, that should not be treated with antibiotics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tomosynthesis in pulmonary cystic fibrosis

    Author : Kristina Vult von Steyern; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cystic fibrosis; Lung; Radiation dose; Radiography; Scoring methods; Tomography; spiral computed; X-ray computed;

    Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate whether chest tomosynthesis might be used in pulmonary cystic fibrosis, to design and validate a tomosynthesis scoring system, and to determine the effective dose from chest tomosynthesis in children. In a prospective study starting in 2008 clinical chest radiography or computed tomography (CT) were supplemented with a tomosynthesis examination of the lungs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Quantifying the quality of medical x-ray images. An evaluation based on normal anatomy for lumbar spine and chest radiography
