[Modern x-ray apparatus for pediatric radiology (Pädiatrix) (author's transl)].

First experiences with the new apparatus "Pädiatrix" in pediatric radiology are reported. The apparatus is especially constructed for babies and children. X-ray pictures can be taken close-up and in distance with the tube above the table. Fluoroscopy can be performed with image intensivier. X-ray pictures with Bucky-diaphragm by the technique of middle and normal size and oblique or horizontal direction are to be made. Tomography and zonography can be done. The apparatus has proven useful for clinical radiological diagnostics after three years of experience.
