X-ray printing grid

An X-ray polygraph array is a device for an X-ray machine designed to obtain an image of the amplitude of respiratory movements of the ribs, diaphragm and mediastinal organs, as well as changes in the air filling of the lungs throughout the respiratory cycle. The X-ray polygraph array is used for X-ray pneumopolygraphy - a method for studying the function of external respiration using X-rays.

When performing X-ray pneumopolygraphy, the patient is in front of an X-ray tube, the rays from which pass through the grille. The lattice is a frame with thin wires or threads stretched across it, located parallel to each other. On the resulting X-ray image, the grating appears as alternating dark and light stripes. When breathing, the chest organs shift, as a result of which the amplitude of movement of the shadows from the grid changes. By analyzing these changes throughout the respiratory cycle, it is possible to obtain information about the biomechanics of breathing and identify its disorders.

Thus, the X-ray polygraph array is an important diagnostic tool when studying the functions of the respiratory system using X-rays.

X-ray pneumometric grid An X-ray pneumometric grid is a part of an X-ray machine with numbered divisions applied, used in X-ray diagnostics of the lungs to record the dynamics of the movement of the patient’s chest during breathing. This method of examination was proposed at the beginning of the 20th century by the neurologist and psychotherapist Albert Mosho, although the theory of radiography (which was created in 1896 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen) has always made it possible to record breathing in photographs. After its discovery, the reserpine test began to be used to monitor cardiomyopathy based on the ventilation capacity of the lungs, suggesting the use of conventional X-ray imaging.
