Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living Anatomy and Pathology: The Diagnosis of Diseases in Early Life by the Roentgen Method The Roentgen ray has been largely used as an aid to diagnosis in both early and later life. Its mechanism has been fully explained in various books, but a systematic exposition of the practical results of the Roentgen method of examination has not yet appeared. The purpose of this book is to deal as little as possible with the questions of apparatus and technic and to devote the entire space to the actual clinical teaching of the subject. This teaching is accomplished by means of illustrative plates, by legends corresponding to them, and by a text explanatory of what can really be seen in health and in disease in early life. The book is devoted to the diagnosis of disease and does not deal to any extent with treatment. It is intended to provide a means by which a fair knowledge of the Roentgen method can be acquired by the student when the personal instruction of a skilled Roentgenologist is not available. I believe that in teaching Roentgenology it is of the utmost importance to present illustrations of evident conditions and not to mislead the student with vague descriptions. In the plates I have been careful not to allow any retouching whatever, and I have discarded those which would have to be altered in order to show what would be described in the legends. Unless this is done the plates are reduced to diagrams and lose their value for accuracy and for teaching the student to interpret them independently.
