X-ray pneumopolygraphy

X-ray pneumopolygraphy (x-ray + Greek pneumo, pneuma - air + Greek polygraphia - printing, lit. - “air recording”) is a method for diagnosing lung diseases, based on recording the movement of air in the lungs when the patient breathes.

X-ray pneumopolygraphy is used to diagnose diseases of the respiratory system, for example, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, obstructive pulmonary diseases and others.

The research methodology is as follows. The patient is lying on his back, then he is given a special injection that causes a narrowing of the bronchi. After this, the patient is asked to take a deep breath and hold his breath for a few seconds. At this moment, the lungs narrow and the volume of air in them decreases. On an x-ray you can see how the size of the lungs changes.

The patient then exhales and the lungs begin to expand. In the picture you can see how they increase in volume and become more transparent.

Thus, X-ray pneumopolygraphy allows you to obtain information about the condition of the patient’s lungs, their volume and transparency. This study is an important method for diagnosing lung diseases and allows timely treatment.

X-ray pneumopolygraphy is a method for studying cardiopulmonary activity, based on the creation of a continuously changing, increasing volume load due to a change in the ratio of inhaled and exhaled air during an artificially slow expiratory phase, as well as the implementation of streaming recordings of respiration (pneumotachograms) and cardiac
