SNAPSHOT Of BONES
THE LATEST IN SURGERY
Local Physicians Patronize the
Army Medical Schools Radio
Graphic Section.

One OF the busiest places in this city
Is the radio o-graphic section of the Army
Medical School 721 18th street In sd-
dltion to its primary use for purely mill
tary purposes, it is utilized to a limited
extent by many of the leading physicians
of the District to assist in the diagnoses
OF diseases of doubtful origin.
The apparatus consists of an electric
installation of great power. so arranged as
to permit of the taking of instantaneous
x-ray photographs snapshots-by
the mere manipulation of lever and in
the space of a fraction of a second.
Members of the medical profession in this
city are permitted to avail themselves of
1t in the practice of their profession, when
1t is not in use for government purposes
and by defraying all attending expenses.
That privilege is granted in the interests
OF medical science as well as a contri-
button to the relief of suffering humanity
Little Trouble to Patients.
In the taking Of these X-ray photo
graphs, the patient is detained in the ray
room only few minutes and suffers no
pain whatever and no inconvenience be-
yond that entailed by such disrobing as is
necessary to expose the part to be pho
tographed beautifully clear print is
secured. Moreover, the operator is SEN
sibly minimized, as there is no pro-
longed exposure to the powerful radia-
tions. Indeed, SO instantaneous is the
operation that it is impossible to detect
any lighting up Of the X-ray tube.
A stereoscope is fitted in the room and
affords an interesting demonstration Of
the application Of scientific principles to
medical practice.
The appara tus includes two large frames
hinged together and set on an angle, like
screen. A third "leaf'' of the screen Is
interposed between them. and that car
ries a mirror on one side. Two X-ray
photographs especially taken for the pur-
pose. are placed in the two frames. Ey
looking at the same time at the first of
these Photographs and at the reflection
of the second in the mirror a perfect
stereoscopic picture is seen.
Aids to the Surgeon.
In this, bones and foreign bodies, like
bullets. pieces of shrapnel, or abnormali-
ties. stand out fn perspective, making it
possible to determine their rela ton to one
another. in a manner that is very instruc-
tive from the point of view of the oper-
ating surgeon. The surgeon, indeed, not
only sees through the patients body, but
sees into it. He is able at a glance to
gauge the depth of a bullet as well as it's
position, and also any derangement of
bones. vital organs or tissue.
Capt. Arthur A Christie of the faculty
OF the Army Medical School is in direct
charge of the photographic apparatus
and personally supervises the taking of
the Roentgen. photographs and the de-
yelopment of the plates.
