Cancer Hospital Is Dedicated:
New X-Ray Discoveries Made

New York, June 15.-(AP)-The
worlds largest cancer institution. the
new Memorial hospital here. was de-
dicated yesterday with announcements
of some new X-ray Instruments for
saving life.
One is bit Of metal as big as the
last three-quarterS of an inch of the
end Of lead pencil. 1t is a new kind
OF X-ray meter, made to lay on the
skin at the spot where X-rays are be-
ing given.
This meter, for the first time. en-
ables physicians to measure the rays
as they enter the body. It is expect
ed to control one of the serious pro-
blems of X-ray treatment. which is
the unknown fluctuation of the rays.
Those entering the body are not Of
the same voltage as the X-ray tube.
To save life from cancer it is i'm
portant to give the very highest
dosage without burning healthy
tissue Frequently this has been i'm
possible because tie doctor could not
tell, from minute to minute, exactly
how much X-rays were entering the
body.
Another new instrument is a little
periSphere' whose hollow walls are
filled with mercury four and half
inches across. This globe fits over
the end Of new kind of million volt
X-ray tube which the General Elec-
trio company built for the new hos
pital.
The tube generates the equivalent
of S90,000,000 worth of radium. The

perisphere completely walls off these
dangerous rays, except where the
doctor chooses to have them exit. The
exit is movable cone Through it
the rays can be focused at any point,
however small, and from any direc-
ton, on the patients body, without
requiring him to hunch into cramp-
ed positions.
There are also five ,OOO-volt
X-ray tubes of a new kind. These
shorten cancer treatments to five
minutes each against 80 minutes to
an hour often required for such volt
ages. They deliver 80 millimperes of
X-rays, relatively a huge current.
