Short-term tomosynthesis enables continuous analysis of structures which appear interesting. The results of short-term tomosynthesis were compared with those of plain roentgenography and conventional tomography. Short-term tomosynthesis appears as an alternative to spot-film radiography and as a complement to tomography in the analysis of spatially limited regions. It facilitates orientation in space and free projection of oblique structures. Good results were obtained in examinations of the pyramids (auditory canal and mandibular joint), the paranasal sinuses, the cervical vertebral column, the extremities and their joints. Examination of soft tissues was usually not very promising in view of the conditions under which tomosynthesis was performed. The same applied likewise to the infusion cholecystocholangiogram and the infusion urogram. Technical improvements will certainly bring about an extension of the uses of this method.
短期断层合成能够对感兴趣的结构进行连续分析。将短期断层合成的结果与普通X线摄影和传统断层摄影的结果进行了比较。在对空间有限区域的分析中，短期断层合成似乎可替代点片摄影，并可作为断层摄影的补充。它有助于在空间中定位以及对斜位结构进行自由投照。在对颞骨（耳道和下颌关节）、鼻窦、颈椎、四肢及其关节的检查中取得了良好结果。鉴于进行断层合成的条件，对软组织的检查通常不太理想。这同样适用于静脉胆囊胆管造影和静脉肾盂造影。技术改进肯定会扩大这种方法的应用范围。
