The analysis of ray diagnosis in rheumatoid lungs. The radiographs(with the help of KXO-50, Toshi-ba, Japan) of patients’ thorax organsaged from 25 to 70 with RA, and CT (Sonratow, Silmens) of 2 mm sec-tion in chest among 10 patients with general disease have been done. In radiographs of R Apatients’ thorax organs the following radiographic changes have been identified: Among 75% patients with general disease increasing the size of lungs and deformation with focal shadows, among 14% patients pneumonia focus (pic-ture 1) and of them 11% pleurodiaphragmatic scar have been found. Conventional radiograph and CT check-ups of thorax organs are considered as a main method of ray diagnosis. However, incomplete acuteness of early diagnosis of radiographic method and low level of identifying pathological process weakens the diag-nostic importance of this method. Because of this, radiographs of RA patients’ thorax organs cannot identify the changes of lungs. Therefore, radiography and CT methods are not contradictory, but complete each other in identifying morphological changes
