Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Century of X-Rays and Radioactivity in Medicine: With Emphasis on Photographic Records of the Early Years celebrates three great discoveries-x-rays (1895), radioactivity (1896), and radium (1898)-and recalls the pioneering achievements that founded the new science of radiology and changed the face of medicine forever. Over 700 historical illustrations with full and informative captions are supported by short introductory essays to illuminate the fascinating radiological past in an easy-to-read style. The focus of this book is on the historically more interesting early years of discovery, invention, diagnosis, therapy, dosimetry, risk, and protection. Interspersed with a variety of radiological anecdotes, the photographic record is complemented by archival accounts of the pioneer scientists and physicians and their early patients. In the chapters on diagnostic techniques, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine, the author contrasts old methods with newer technologies. He also includes two fascinating chapters on museum and industrial applications of radiography. The book is comprehensively indexed for easy retrieval of the wide variety of people, techniques, apparatus, and examples featured throughout this radiological journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ce Que j'Ai Vu de la Guerre Tout autour, c'est le terroir irrégulier, les terres des fermiers, semées de bouquets d'arbres et interrompues par des bosquets. Au nord-est, sur une colline, les bois de Brimont, où se trouve un des forts servant a la défense de Reims, que l'on distingue très bien de la hauteur. Lorsque le vent donne, on entend mème le bourdon de la Cathédrale qui domine majestueusement les nombreuses maisons et manufactures groupées autour d'elle.

Download or read book Naked to the Bone written by Bettyann Kevles and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the late 1960s, the computer and television were linked to produce medical images that were as startling as Roentgen's original X-rays. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic reasonance imaging (MRI) made it possible to picture soft tissues invisible to ordinary X-rays. Ultrasound allowed expectant parents to see their unborn children. Positron emission tomography (PET) enabled neuroscientists to map the brain. In this lively history of medical imaging, the first to cover the full scope of the field from X-rays to MRI-assisted surgery, Bettyann Kevles explores the consequences of these developments for medicine and society. Through lucid prose, vivid anecdotes, and more than seventy striking illustrations, she shows how medical imaging has transformed the practice of medicine - from pediatrics to dentistry, neurosurgery to geriatrics, gynecology to oncology. Beyond medicine, Kevles describes how X-rays and the newer technologies have become part of the texture of modern life and culture. They helped undermine Victorian sexual sensibilities, gave courts new forensic tools, provided plots for novels and movies, and offered artists from Picasso to Warhol new ways to depict the human form.
Download or read book La D fense de la Sant Publique Pendant la Guerre Classic Reprint written by Léon Bernard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Défense de la Santé Publique Pendant la Guerre Une fois constitués les Comités de direction, un premier pas s'imposait pour la mise en train de notre histoire. Pas d'histoire sans documents. Avant tout, il fallait rendre acces sibles pour les recherches, dans la mesure compatible avec les intérèts de l'état, tous les documents de quelque importance relatifs à la guerre, locaux ou nationaux. Mais la constitution des archives est une lourde tâche qui appartient de droit aux gouvernements et autres détenteurs de ces documents histo riques, non aux historiens ou économistes qui se proposent de les utiliser. C'est une obligation incombant aux propriétaires qui les détiennent pour le compte du public. Les collaborateurs qui se sont chargés de cette partie de l'histoire de la Guerre ne pouvaient que se homer à un rôle d'enquèteurs, et, en accep tant la situation telle qu'elle était, résumer leurs découvertes sous forme de guides ou de manuels bibliographiques, et peut ètre aussi, en procédant à une comparaison des méthodes employées, contribuer à faire adopter celles trouvées les plus pratiques. Tel été dans chaque pays le point de départ de nos travaux, quoiqu'on n'ait pas dans chaque cas rédigé sur ce point de monographie spéciale.
