The Value of a Routine Prenatal Chest X-ray

JOHN H. MATTOX, MD, FACOG

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. University of Nebraska Medical Center. 42nd and Dcwey Ave, Omaha. Neb 68105

Abstract

To determine whether routine prenatal chest x-rays were of value, the records of 1239 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Most patients were urban poor; 17 had significant findings. However, if the history or physical examination had been used as the criterion for obtaining a chest x-ray, only 1 patient would not have been discovered. She had benign, noninfectious disease.
