Summary

COI synopsis: The problem of x-raying the brain, previously a long and painful operation, has been solved by a new technique which uses a computer to analyse the x-ray information and produce an x-ray picture on a TV screen. A simple four-minute process, the results obtained are vastly superior to conventional x-ray photographs.
