Beschreibung

8vo., 13, (1) pp., 1 folding plate containing 3 illustrations, later grey-green wrappers, in fine condition. Rare offprint (first separate edition). It is one of the earliest publications on the applications of radiology in urology. Charles Lester Leonard (1861-1913) is an American pionner and martyr to radiology. P. Brown (In: American Martyrs to Radiology: Charles Lester Leonard (1861-1913), [Am J Roentgenol. 1995, 164, 1541-4]) wrote: "There can be no doubt that American urological roentgenology owes the incipiency of its impetus to the pioneer labors of Charles Lester Leonard. From the year following the Discovery to the year 1910 he had contributed no less than eighteen major monographs on the subject of urinary lithiasis, aside from frequent authoritative reference to it in various papers dealing with the general diagnostic application of the roentgen-rays. In a roentgen-diagnostic problem which in early times was most difficult, Leonard's technical results were so convincing that by the beginning of the century he had established himself as the foremost authority in this branch of x-ray diagnosis. . . The conclusions at which he arrived were based upon the results of a technique that was peculiarly his own, and in his hands successful because of the fact that his plates revealed all degrees of shadow-density of soft structure in the neighborhood of the urinary tract.".
