The Technical Basis of X-Ray Motion Picture Photography

R. Janker

After considering the difficulties involved in the direct method of x-ray cinematography, in which the x-rays penetrate the subject and pass directly to the photographic film with intensities depending upon the absorption of the subject, some of the work done by the author by means of the indirect method is described. In the indirect method, the x-ray image of the subject upon the fluorescent screen is photographed in reduced size by means of a suitable lens system. Various difficulties and factors of the system to be considered are discussed, and examples of the results attained by the indirect method are presented.
