Title: [Electroroentgenography in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors].
Abstract: Clinical, electroroentgenographic and X-ray studies of soft tissues were carried out in 425 patients with malignant (75), benign (246) soft tissue tumors and in cases of such soft tissue pathologies of the extremities and body (104) as bursitis, hematoma, cyst and ganglia which may clinically simulate tumors. The paper discusses the technicalities of electroroentgenography which produces on one roentgenogram separate images of all components of soft tissues and bones in a given segment. A comparison of image quality assured by electroroentgeno- and roentgenography did not establish any significant difference in soft tissue tumor semiotics. Electroroentgenography of soft tissues is relatively less sophisticated, time-consuming and cheaper; it does not require special medical facilities for examining patients bearing soft tissue tumor or suspect lesions.
