  Pneumothoracea detection methods, which is more reliable?

  On a daily basis I see quite a lot Trauma chest x-rays - checking for Pneumothrocea in expiration. In Med-School we were told that is state of the art. In my former position in Switzerland we wereOn a daily basis I see quite a lot Trauma chest x-rays - checking for Pneumothrocea in expiration. In Med-School we were told that is state of the art. In my former position in Switzerland we were told to ask for an expiration exam, because of the lack of information you will get. Now back in Germany its the the old story: Expiration. I tried to find valid information on how we could be more significantly sensitive when finding pneumothoraces in expiration but i did not find a reliable source and no Physiologists were able to explain. Papers say one will find only a 10% bigger pneumothracea in expiration, but does this matter if it is only 20mm of size? I do not think so! What do you think? Do we need expiration X-Ray?

  For diagnostic accuracy all chest radiography must be done in the bucky

  This way bmi is taken into account and the radiation dose will be kept at a minimum

    Thanks Uzman n Thomas. I tried googling 2008 ICRP tissue weighting factors but didnt get any satisfying reply. Thomas TAR sounds quite appropriate but how to do it practically ? This might sound lameThanks Uzman n Thomas. I tried googling 2008 ICRP tissue weighting factors but didnt get any satisfying reply. Thomas TAR sounds quite appropriate but how to do it practically ? This might sound lame but is the sample size estimation for this kind of a study similar to regular studies where one uses Keish n leslie formula and how long should the study be for?
