Photofluorographic Films in Heart Disease

چکیده
T HE first paper in this series' presented the results of heart disease case finding in the Boston Chest X-Ray Survey for tuberculosis, utilizing 70 mm. photofluorographic films which were read by the survey team for all abnormalities and then reread by a special group of radiologists, working in pairs, solely for abnormalities of the size and shape of the cardiac silhouette. This is a report of heart disease case finding on another group of films in the same x-ray survey where the conditions were those usual to most mass chest x-ray surveys, that is, where all the films are read once by a survey team for all possible chest abnormalities including those of the heart and great vessels. The results so obtained are so different from those of the previous paper that they are reported separately.
