Synopsis

This practical manual illustrates the applications of X-rays in localizing foreign bodies and offers precise methods for locating shrapnel, bullets, and other projectiles embedded in muscle or bone, including those found in the delicate structures of the eye. The author, a pioneer in the field of X-ray technology, developed the cross-thread localization method, which is fully described and contextualized within the broader history and applications of X-ray technology. The book also explores the phenomenon of secondary radiation, a concern for X-ray operators and their patients, and includes recommendations for protective measures. This compact guide includes hundreds of stereoscopic images, including numerous double-exposure and sectional photographs to aid in comprehension.
