X-ray amplifier permits room-light viewing

Hospital tests of an experimental thinscreen X-ray amplifying panel indicate that the device “may ultimately provide the ideal X-ray amplifier,” stated Dr, E. W. Godfrey, chief radiologist of Princeton Hospital, Princeton, N.J. In a report to the Rocky Mountain Radiological Society, Denver, Colo., he described evaluation tests of the experimental amplifier with patients at Princeton Hospital and the University Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The experimental panel was developed at Radio Corporation of America´s David Sarnoff Research Center, Princeton, N.J., by Benjamin Kazan, who was a coauthor with Dr. Godfrey of the report given to radiologists.
