Xeroradiography is a new and simple radiodiagnostic technique that makes it possible to analyse on one positive film not only the bone tissue but also the neighbouring structures (ligaments, muscles, fatty tissue, the vessels, and the skin). On the basis of about 100 examinations, the authors indicate the value and the limitations of the technique in rheumatological practice. Because of the technical aspects of the technique, the dorsolumbar spine and the facial massif are poorly visualized. The swamping of the contrast also limits its use for cases of demineralization (osteoporosis). On the other hand, the information provided by the technique in cases of Paget's disease, articular or para-articular calcification, pathological conditions of the tendons (rupture, calcification), and bone tumours appears to be of great value. The early diagnosis of cases of inflammatory rheumatism and the surveillance of Silastic prostheses used in surgery on rheumatic hands are also facilitated.
干板X线照相术是一种新型的简单放射诊断技术，它能够在一张正位片上不仅分析骨组织，还能分析相邻结构（韧带、肌肉、脂肪组织、血管和皮肤）。基于约100例检查，作者指出了该技术在风湿病学实践中的价值和局限性。由于该技术的技术方面原因，背腰椎和面部结构显示不佳。对比剂的淹没也限制了其在骨质减少（骨质疏松症）病例中的应用。另一方面，该技术在佩吉特病、关节或关节周围钙化、肌腱病理状况（断裂、钙化）和骨肿瘤病例中提供的信息似乎具有很大价值。炎症性风湿病病例的早期诊断以及风湿性手部手术中使用的硅橡胶假体的监测也变得更加容易。
