Synopsis
A detailed, archival look at early radium therapy and the science behind it. This volume explains the basic principles of radioactivity and how these substances are used to treat malignant growths, with practical descriptions of devices, methods, and measurements.
It covers how radium and its emanation transform and decay, how deposits and tubes are used to deliver penetrating radiation, and how practitioners measure and monitor activity in clinical settings. The material combines theory with hands-on techniques that were part of early 20th‑century medical research.
- How radioactive substances are described and why they can destroy tumor tissue.
- Equipment and methods for collecting, purifying, and concentrating emanation for medical use.
- Ways to apply radiation to tumors, including glass and steel tubes, and dosage considerations.
- Instruments to estimate activity, detect presence, and measure radiation in clinical settings.
Ideal for readers of medical history, radiology, and the early development of radiotherapy.
