It is noted that the screening fluoroscopic examination makes it possible to diagnose both tuberculosis and other diseases of the chest at an early stage and to obtain high-quality digital images. If necessary, patients also receive a consultation with a phthisiologist and can undergo rapid testing for infectious diseases. Preventive examinations will continue in the future.
