    Radiography Survey of Further Education Colleges : During December, 1971 and February/March, 1972, the Mass Radiography Service examined students in four colleges of further education. Altogether, 3,317 (2,854 males and 463 females) were X-rayed, 23 (14 males and 9 females) of these being recalled for large film. As usual, all those abnormalities of any significance were informed of the result and a report, together with an indication of the action considered advisable, was sent to their own doctor. Those requiring further assessment would be given an opportunity of attending the chest clinic for the area in which they were resident. The following table summarises the results :— Male Female Number examined ... 2,854 463 Recalled for large film 14 9 Pulmonary Tuberculosis— Active — — Inactive — 2 Known 1 1 2 Total 3,317 23 2 1 3 Other Abnormalities— Bronchial Carcinoma ... 1 — Pneumonic Condition ... 1 — 1 ~2 — 2 104 (43 males and 61 females) members of staff of the colleges were also X-rayed.
