MASS RADIOGRAPHY
•SUCCESS OF R.A.F. WORK (Reel 10 p.m.) LONDON, May 30. The new technique of mass miniature radiography developed by the R.A.F. enables hundreds of people to be X-rayed in a day by one small mobile medical unit, and the results can be examined almost immediately. This allows tuberculosis, cancer, heart diseases, and pneumonia to be diagnosed at an early stage, when a cure will be effective and rapid. The presence of a speck on a film one inch square discloses hitherto unsuspected tuberculosis. So successful is the R.A.F. pioneer work that a countrywide system to give every member of the nation a free X-ray examination of the chest will soon be launched. The incidence of tuberculosis in the R.A.F. has noticeably declined since the'inception of the scheme.
