Forensic skiagraphy.

Since roentgenograms are merely skiagraphs and not photographs, and since they are accordingly subject to erroneous interpretations or deductions, it would seem highly desirable that courts rely upon expert analysis of them, rather than demonstration of the negatives themselves. Such practice is customary in connection with clinical laboratory work, pathology, bacteriology and many other medical fields. Interpretations of skiagraphs should be clear, complete and consistent.

The treatment of cancer of the thyroid gland.

The optimum treatment for cancer of the thyroid depends on (a) the pathological type of tumor present and (b) the stage of the disease.In patients with well-differentiated papillary carcinoma, simple operation is usually adequate. In cases of most other types, more extensive operation, followed by adequate postoperative radiotherapy, is regarded as the treatment of choice. In terms of clinical stage, the primary treatment of most cases classified as Stage I or II should be surgical, and of most cases classified as Stage III or IV, radiological. The five-year survival rate in a series of nonterminal cases treated under such a program was 47 per cent. Persistent treatment of selected inoperable or metastatic lesions may result in unexpectedly long survivals.
