- W2065623825 abstract "THAT radiology as a science is the inherent property of the trained medical radiologist is unquestionable and this fact should be recognized. Up to the present time, the medical profession has been rather apathetic in recognizing this young medical Hercules, if he may be so termed, and he has been left to develop unguided, with acromegalic tendencies. He has been the plaything of every profession, good and bad, but now that he has been finally adopted by the American Medical Association, it is to be hoped that future development will entitle him to respectful consideration among the recognized branches of scientific medicine and surgery. It should be clearly understood that the term “radiology” in this discussion connotes only that known field of energy of radiation which begins in the lower scale of visible light and ends in the short waves of gamma radiation. Also, this entity should be clearly distinguished from an ever increasing number of technical agents which are listed under the names: electrotherapy, thermotherapy, mechanotherapy, kinesiotherapy, hydrotherapy, vibrotherapy, and the increasing number of therapies grouped under the general term “physiotherapy.” That medical men are awakening to the realization that radiology is entitled to a professional status may well be illustrated by a brief retrospect of the progress in the treatment of disease by radiation during the past decade. At the meeting of the American Medical Association in Atlantic City in 1919, a New York surgeon, speaking before the surgical section, stated that he had never seen a carcinoma of the cervix uteri cured by radium and doubted that he ever would see such an occurrence. Six years later, the Journal of the American Medical Association quotes one of America's foremost surgeons to the effect that radium is a specific in early carcinoma of the cervix—truly a revolutionary change of opinion. Another instance is vividly recalled to the writer's mind where a well known surgical authority, speaking before a medical group of perhaps one thousand, stated that X-rays and radium were of no appreciable service in the treatment of toxic goiter. This same surgeon at present employs both X-rays and radium, not only in the treatment of goiter, but in many other conditions in which the use of these agents was formerly ridiculed. Now that we are fully launched upon a new therapeutic era, we must not omit to refer to the need for painstaking investigation and care in all work undertaken. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that, in accordance with the amount of radiation employed, the activity of a particular gland or organ may be stimulated or, conversely, either checked or destroyed. This places a responsibility upon us all which cannot be evaded and which we must willingly accept, if we are to extend our services further for the physical wellbeing of our patients." @default.
