Abstract
THIS volume fully maintains the standard set by earlier members of the series, and provides the usual mine of condensed but accurate and eminently readable information. Almost one-half of the book is devoted to the physics of the subject, and the remainder to the technique of the production of X-rays, and to their medical and technical applications. The ground covered is approximately that of the Cambridge Diploma in Medical Radiology, but the sixteen pages of excellent plates, mostly of tubes and installations, will make it of particular value to readers who have not the opportunity to see or use elaborate apparatus of this type. One wishes that there existed an equally good and inexpensive treatment of the subject in English.
