100 Years Ago

摘要

We published recently (June 29) a short article on the progress of radiography in medical diagnosis, and alluded in particular to the work of the staff at Guy's Hospital in their investigation of pathological conditions of the intestine. In this connection we note the appearance of a new paper... by Dr. A. C. Jordan, medical radiographer to Guy's Hospital... in which he shows that it is often possible to detect duodenal obstruction by the X-ray method after giving the patient a bismuth meal. Diseases of the duodenum are often extremely obscure, and this new method of diagnosing the condition wiH be welcomed both by the medical profession and the sufferers from such complaints.
