[Xero-radiography of peripheral arteries (author's transl)].

Comparison of film and xerographic examinations of arteries in the extremities has shown that it is possible to demonstrate vessels by using xerography with about half the usual concentration of contrast material. Advantages of this technique are: Less pain during the examination. No need for an anaesthetic. Less damage to the artery, with the possibility of repeating the examination. -There are still certain difficulties for the routine use of this method: the selenium plates cannot be used in the AOT changer. Limited format of the selenium plates.
