| Summary |
"La Radiologie et La Guerre" by Marie Curie is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the pivotal role that radiology, particularly the use of X-rays, played during wartime medicine, especially in diagnosing and treating injuries sustained by soldiers. Curie's experience and contributions during the war highlight the improvements in medical imaging technology and its applications in emergency medical situations. The opening of the text introduces the significance of X-rays, invented in 1895, and their evolution as a medical diagnostic tool that revolutionized the examination of trauma patients on the battlefield. Curie recounts her own involvement in the organization and implementation of radiological services to address the urgent needs for medical imaging during the war. The beginning details the development of portable radiology units, the training of personnel, and the logistical challenges faced in treating wounded soldiers, setting the stage for an exploration of both the technical and practical aspects of radiology in medical warfare.
