| Popis: | The obligation to give a Presidential Address is a small price to pay for the honour of being elected to the Presidency of the British Institute of Radiology. Nevertheless, I suspect I have not been the only President to suffer a period of considerable anguish while deciding what to say and how to say it, nor the first to go back to the earliest volumes of the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy and the Archives of the Roentgen Ray for ideas which might help in the preparation of the address, and, in doing so, to find the search of the early literature to be a most absorbing occupation, not least because of the surprisingly topical nature of so much of what was written or said in those days. For instance, most of us would consider that preoccupation with the hazards of radiation, particularly on the part of the general public, is a recent development. However, within a few years of the discovery of X rays we find a public disquiet arising from the press reports of serious radiation effects. |
