| Abstract: | Paper read at the 1973 Annual Meeting of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons of Malta. Two cases of serious thoracic disease were discovered on routine Chest X-Ray screening in 150 schoolboys: one student being found to be suffering from ganglioneuroma, the other from coarctation of the aorta. Both were symptom free and both required thoracic surgery. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize and illustrate a well-known fact; the value of screening in the community. The example used is Chest X-Ray Screening. |
