X-Rays Simply Explained: A Handbook on Röntgen Rays in Theory and Practice (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from X-Rays Simply Explained: A Handbook on Röntgen Rays in Theory and Practice
IN preparing the third edition of this handbook I have endeavoured to give a concise account of some of the experiments and discoveries which have led up to the present knowledge of Rontgen rays and their application to pathology. It is intended primarily for students and amateurs, and gives no account of the more complicated and expensive apparatus, nor of the latest developments in hospital methods, but I hope that it may also be of some use to the practical man, as it seems to have been in its earlier form. The original intention was to write a second book in continuation and completion of the first edition, but it has proved more convenient to revise and condense the previous chapters sufficiently to allow the inclusion of the whole in its former small compass. It is hoped that this course will prove equally satisfactory to new readers and exist ing owners of the first edition, as no matter of any importance contained ~therein is omitted here and much that is new has been added.
The history and theory of the subject can only be lightly sketched, but I have endeavoured to treat them in such a way as to awaken interest which will carry the reader beyond the mere mechanical production of radiographs as curiosities.
