Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Radium Therapy in Cancer at the Memorial Hospital, New York: First Report: 1915-1916
In our experience the use of radium emanation has greatly increased the efficiency of radium therapy as compared to the use of the metal itself.
For a satisfactory understanding of these advantages as well as the principles of application and filtration an acquaintance with the physics of radium is indispensable. It has therefore been deemed advisable to include in this report an introduction explaining in detail the physical considerations relative to the therapeutic application of radium.
