X-Ray Called Eye"
Of Medical Diagnosis

X-ray is one of the most vital
aids to medical diagnosis today, ac-
cOrding to J. d. Ratcliff, nationally
known writer on medical subjects.
By recent methods, X-ray will de-

It's use is likewise Invaluable to
the radiolOgist, or X-ray physician,
in detecting medical conditions of
heart, brain, spine, neck Vertebrae
and bronchial tubes. Infertility in
women can be discovered by its use,
as can anticipated difficulties in
birth caused by the baby's posi-
ton.
Quoting DR.. Henry X. Taylor,
professor of clinical radiOlogy at
Post Graduate Medical School, New

global catastrophe wiped out all
the diagnostic X-ray machines, to-
morrow morning the medical pro-
fessiOn would find itself back in the
18th century,
According to Mr.. Ratcliff, per
haps the most dramatic example
of diagnOstic progress in radiOlo-
gy, using X-ray in medicine, is eX-
animation of the heart. Notably the
famed "bIue baby" operation relies
heavily on what the radiOlOgist
finds in X-ray studies. Also visible
under X-ray, by means Of con
trast media" such as barium, iodine
materials and even air, are such
small or shadOwy structures as the
adrenal glands and the pituitary,
master gland of the body.
Use of the X-ray, which was dis
covered so years ago this NOvem-

is sometimes merely taken for
granted, writes Mr.. Ratcliff in the

biologist is often mistakenly dis
missed as a kind of scientific pic
ture-taker. But this highly skilled

en- other physicians, plus at least
three years of specially study, the
writer points out. The radiolOgist
