The role of mass radiophotography in Poland in the years 1985-1898 is presented basing on routine data from Antituberculous Centers and Radiophotographic Units. Mass radiophotography detects approximately 30% of new registered pulmonary tuberculosis cases. In the analysed period the number of radiophotographic examinations systematically fell. Also the percentage of the population that was screened using this method decreased, as well as, although to a lesser state, the percentage of new detected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. A significant decrease in usage of mass radiophotography equipment was also seen. The economical cost of such examination increased. The role and place of mass radiophotography in tuberculosis control programs in Poland is discussed by the authors. It seems that first contact physicians will have the most pronounced role in early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Also more emphasis should be placed on bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculosis.
