The Greek word for shadow is "skia," and the proper rendering, therefore, of shadowgraph is "skiagraph," corresponding to photograph. ❋ Various (N/A)
Doubtless when we are able to devise apparatus of greater penetration, and to control the effect of the rays, we shall be able to skiagraph clearly even through the entire thickness of the body. ❋ Various (N/A)
To take, therefore, a skiagraph of a brain through two thicknesses of skull, with our present methods, is an impossibility. ❋ Various (N/A)
Even after the hand has been dressed, it is possible, through the dressing, to skiagraph it, and determine the presence or absence of any such fragments of glass. ❋ Various (N/A)
We do not yet know, by skiagraphs of successful results after fracture, just how such bones look during the process of healing, and, therefore, we cannot yet be sure that the skiagraph of an unsuccessful case is an evidence of unskilfulness on the part of the surgeon. ❋ Various (N/A)
It would be manifestly an utter impossibility to skiagraph the many fractures which are seen there daily, considering that it would take from half an hour to an hour of the time of not less than two or three assistants skilled not only in surgery, but also in electricity, to skiagraph a single fracture. ❋ Various (N/A)
That the flesh or soft parts are not wholly permeable to the rays is well shown in the skiagraph -- i.e., a "shadow picture" -- of a foot. ❋ Various (N/A)
An attempt has been made by Rowland and Waggett. to skiagraph such foreign bodies, with encouraging results. ❋ Various (N/A)
To illustrate the latter first, even one thickness of bone is difficult to penetrate, so that the attempt to skiagraph the opening which had been made in a skull of a living person by a trephine entirely failed, since the bone upon the opposite side of the skull formed so dense an obstacle that not the slightest indication of the trephine opening appeared. ❋ Various (N/A)
Undoubtedly, as a result of the labors of so many scores of physicists and physicians as are now working at the problem, before long we shall be able to skiagraph at least the thinner parts of the body in a very brief interval. ❋ Various (N/A)
We may also possibly be able to determine when the bones are properly adjusted after a fracture; and all the better, since the skiagraph can be taken through the dressings, even if wooden splints have been employed. ❋ Various (N/A)
Figure 6 is the skiagraph of the hand of a cadaver which shows a needle deeply embedded in the thumb, and also two buck-shot, which were inserted into the palm of the hand through two incisions. ❋ Various (N/A)
That we are not able at present to skiagraph the soft parts of the body, does not imply that we shall not be able to do it hereafter; and should this be possible, especially with our increasing ability to penetrate thick masses of tissue, it is evident, without entering into details, that the use of the X rays may be of immense importance in obstetrics. ❋ Various (N/A)
So, too, when we are able to skiagraph through thick tissues, we may be able to show such deposits in the internal organs of the body. ❋ Various (N/A)
The moment the skiagraph was taken, it was very clear which bone should be removed. ❋ Various (N/A)
Efforts, therefore, to skiagraph the heart, the lungs, the liver, and stomach, and all the pelvic organs, probably will be fruitless to a greater or less extent until our methods are improved. ❋ Various (N/A)
If our methods improve so that we can skiagraph through the entire body, it will be very possible to determine the presence and location of foreign bodies in the stomach and intestines. ❋ Various (N/A)
Stones in various organs, such as the kidney, will be accessible to examination so soon as our methods have improved sufficiently for us to skiagraph through the thicker parts of the trunk. ❋ Various (N/A)
If you will study my skiagraph, you will see how I got my first clue. ❋ Unknown (1908)
"You see," pointed out Kennedy, tracing along one of the shadows with a fine-pointed pencil, and then along a corresponding position on another standard skiagraph which he already had, ❋ Unknown (1908)
