Popis:	THE importance of an accurate hematologic diagnosis in myelogenous leukemia, particularly in relationship to the phase of the leukemia, cannot be overemphasized. The relative activity of any variety of leukemia is and should be of vital concern to the roentgenologist. For that reason we thought it worth while to present this subject from the viewpoint of the hematologist as well as that of the roentgenologist. We will present the hematologic pictures of four different phases of myelogenous leukemia and make suggestions as to both roentgenologic treatment and a method of follow-up examination which we think permits better control of a patient who has leukemia than is offered by sporadic treatment. Myelogenous leukemia may be classified into four general types based on clinical and hemacytologic criteria. Diagnosis of acute leukemia may be made without difficulty. The disease usually has a rapid onset associated with fever, anemia, usually hemorrhage from the mucous membranes, petechiae and purpuric manifest...
