Exceptional Accuracy. Developed at a cost of $5,000,000, it uses conventional X-ray equipment to photograph the breast. The difference is in the developing. Instead of X-ray film, the xero-radiograph uses a selenium plate that has been specially treated to make it sensitive to X rays. Once exposed, the plate is inserted into a processor similar to an office copier, where it is "developed" electronically. The result is an exceptionally accurate Xerox "picture" of the breast, its internal tissues and any cancer that might be present...
Eastman Kodak, which has not yet determined the selling price of the 32x72 in. films necessary for such a full-length radiograph, claims that it will be useful for taking a picture of all the broken and dislocated bones of an accident victim with a minimum of discomfort. Such pictures might also show all secondary cancers in an individual and the full extent of rickets. Students of anatomy and physiology could use such complete radiographs to study the varying relations of bones and organs to posture...
...Corp. of America. Its basis is paper so sensitized that hot air will turn it black. A blast of hot air plays through a fine jet on the paper at the receiving end. A jet of cold air controlled by radio signals transmitting the desired picture by the usual radiograph process, modulates the hot air, producing the shading in the received picture. The advantage of magnifying photographs sent by radio: when the picture ig reduced, again to normal size, its details sharpen...
...rate, $42). Pictures of Oxford winning a relay race at Cambridge, of a steamship wreck on the Tweed River, of Queen Mother Alexandra, of Premier Stanley Baldwin, of Owen D. Young, of Ambassador Kellogg, of the Prince of Wales, were also transmitted. The man principally responsible for the new radiograph is Captain Richard H. Ranger, who devised the means of sending uniform impulses so that static does not annul the transmission. General J. G. Harbord, President of the Radio Corporation, philosophized: "As we study the forward marches of science and their effect of steadily shrinking the world to what will...
...club known as "The Radiograph Company of Harvard University" has recently been organized by various members of the University who are interested in wireless telegraphy for the purpose of experimenting in this new science. Several of the men erected stations for their own use within the last year, and there are now four, situated on dormitories about the Yard; one each on Matthews, Holyoke House, Brentford and Westmorly...
