Abstract:
Properly exposed X-ray plates captured clear outlines of the skeleton and also softer tissues, such as the skin, muscles, tendons, and even veins and arteries. But many of the finer details could be lost in the transfer to print. This figure displays the first-ever outline of an infant's liver, within its natural surroundings of flesh and bones. The X-Ray, fig. 59.
