 Peter Menzel/ASA / ASA, GER_SCI_MED_04_xs Patient undergoing an experimental form of cancer treatment using hyperthermia (heat treatment). Here, the patients neck is being positioned under a radio source. The ‘Selectotherm’ machine, developed by Manfred von Ardenne (1907-1997) at the Dresden Institute, Germany, uses radio waves to treat malignant tumors. In the 1960s, it was found that cancerous cells were more susceptible to destruction by heat than normal tissue. This treatment is used in a controversial multi-step cancer therapy, which involves acidification of the cancer cells (to restrict the tumor’s blood supply) before raising the body temperature to 40 degrees C and the tumor to 42.5 degrees C. Manfred Von Ardenne hyperthermia, cancer treatment. Dresden, Germany. (1991) |

 Digital Archive Japan / DAJ, Examining a patients thorax using an X-ray tube and fluorescent screen, 1903. The X-ray tube (on tripod) is set at the required height and the patient stands directly in front of it. In front of the patient, the operator holds a specially coated paper screen. When X-rays fall on the paper, its coating fluoresces, leaving as shadows those dense portions of the thorax, such as bones, which absorb X-rays. Many who worked with X-rays in the early days suffered the effects of over-exposure to radiation. |
