Excerpt from The Rontgen Rays in Medical Work
Since the famous discovery announced by Professor Rontgen at the end of the year 1895, a new science has sprung into being. This branch of knowledge, although still in its early and undeveloped stages, has found a special application in medical work.
In this little volume the aim has been to deal with the present practical scope of the Rontgen rays so far as physicians and surgeons are concerned. An attempt has been made to treat the matter systematically, and to point out limitations and possibilities, as well as to record actual achievements. In this endeavour the author has received invaluable help from Mr. J. E. Greenhill, who has also kindly written an introductory part dealing with electrical methods and apparatus. He is also indebted to Messrs. Barwell, Mackenzie Davidson, Lynn Thomas, Professor Waymouth Reid, and many others, for the use of Rontgen photographs and of notes of cases. Where all is new, it is by no means easy to decide what is likely to prove ultimately true; but the task of selection has been guided by a constant reference to the everyday conditions of medical practice.
