Abstract
In continental lowland forests, an increase in the poor health status of ash trees has been observed in recent years. This study investigated the capabilities of modern radiological equipment for the cross-sectional imaging of tree trunks, specifically to determine whether a medical radiological device can visualize ash tree disease. Since a comparison of the performed radiological tomographic scans and existing photographs of the same samples showed that the changes visible on the photographs could also be seen on the radiographic images, the aim of this research was achieved. This confirms that the use of appropriate radiological equipment is satisfactory for the detection of changes caused by infectious diseases or other issues in ash trees.

Pregled stabala medicinskom radiološkom opremom
Sažetak
U kontinentalnim nizinskim šumama, zadnjih je godina zapažen porast lošeg zdravstvenog stanja stabala jasena. U ovom radu su istražene mogućnosti suvremene radiološke opreme u slikovnom prikazu presjeka debla, odnosno može li se medicinskim radiološkim uređajem vizualizirati bolest stabla jasena. Kako je usporedba učinjenih radioloških tomografskih snimaka i već postojećih fotografija istih uzoraka pokazala da se promjene na fotografijama mogu vidjeti i na radiografskom zapisu, cilj ovog istraživanja je ostvaren u dijelu da je potvrđeno kako uporaba odgovarajuće radiološke opreme zadovoljava u detekciji promjena uzrokovane zaraznim bolestima stabala jasena ili drugim uzrocima.
