When isotopic techniques are compared with the standard chest radiograph, it is evident that the two are complementary. The chest radiograph contains detailed anatomical information but only limited information on lung function and can be relatively insensitive. A chest radiograph is essential for the interpretation of radioisotopic techniques. Their combination provides a powerful tool for investigation of pulmonary disorders.

Abstract

When isotopic techniques are compared with the standard chest radiograph, it is evident that the two are complementary. The chest radiograph contains detailed anatomical information but only limited information on lung function and can be relatively insensitive. A chest radiograph is essential for the interpretation of radioisotopic techniques. Their combination provides a powerful tool for investigation of pulmonary disorders.
