Portable X-Ray On Duty At Front

A United States Army medical unit gives a realistic demonstration of the latest forward step in war surgery. Under old methods much time was lost as doctors probed to find the exact location of a bullet or piece of shrapnel. Now right to the front line comes portable x-ray equipment which is set up and ready to function in eight minutes.

In less than forty seconds the machine not only locates the foreign body but registers the exact depth of the bullet beneath the skin. Pictures that save lives. Already the new unit has been cited for service at the front.
