Hodges, has turned a Schmidt-type telescope into a highly efficient camera for making X-ray pictures of the human abdomen. The simplified system of lenses and concave mirror that can photograph the dimmest starlight is being used for quick, sharp snapshots of a faint, fluorescent screen...
Doctors can now look forward to routine abdominal X rays-perhaps as useful to preventive medicine as production-line chest X rays have been in the fight against TB. In the past, X-ray study of the intestines has been an expensive and time-consuming process. Where one chest X ray is usually enough, an examination of the stomach may need as many as six exposures. But the dense, intestine-packed abdominal cavity requires so much radiation for its shadow pictures that six slow exposures in succession may be dangerous for the patient...
...Hodges' astronomical X-ray camera is mounted beneath a regulation X-ray table. Radiation passes through patient and table to strike a fluorescent screen that changes X rays into visible light. Below the fluorescent screen, light is gathered by lenses and concave mirror to be focused on 70-mm. film. The camera can take six exposures in a second...
