The bestresults can be obtained if a new tube that has a low resistance is Fig. 320. Augusta G., forty-five years of age. From same patient as Fig. 319. Shows loss of bone substance in phalanges. The special difficulties lie in so arranging the apparatus as to obtain thebest differentiation, and in the correct reading of the radiograph, par-ticularly in cases where the disease is beginning and only a small focusis affected. The changes in the outline and thickness of the bones, ofthe periosteuM, in the cancellated structure of the bones, in the amountof rays absorbed by the tissues, should all be carefully studied in theradiographs.
