Abstract
The serious nature of the injuries which have been inflicted on two expert Roentgen ray operators and which necessitated the amputation or partial amputation of both hands should be sufficient warning to all engaged in the the employment of this powerful agent A further word of caution seems neccessary however as many operators who have had no experience are entering the fieldThe claim made by the manufacturers of static machines that these do not or are less liable to produce serious injury has proved fallacious It is a dangerous doctrine as it engenders a false sense of security One of the physicians who has practically lost both his hands did most of his work with a static machine
