Abstract
Xeroradiography proved extremely helpful in: evaluation of soft-tissue masses of both the axial and appendicular skeleton; quantifying soft-tissue changes in advanced rheumatoid arthritis; evaluation of bony involvement by an adjacent soft-tissue tumor or infection; evaluation of rib lesions or rib integrity; and assessment of bones in casted extremities. The technique was not helpful in the following conditions: early soft-tissue changes of rheumatoid arthritis; detection of minimal skeletal trauma; arthrography of the knee; evaluation of any portion of the vertebral column; evaluation of submandibular neck masses; or assessment of abdominal films for visceral structures.
