The technique used to make X-ray motion pictures was the subject of a two-day symposium in November at the University of Rochester Strong Mem¬ orial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y.
George M. Corney of Kodak Re¬ search Laboratories discussed the im¬ portant characteristics of films for cinefluorography, the role of film spectral sensitivity in matching screen emission, and the characteristic curves of photo¬ graphic film that determine contrast and exposure latitude.
Frederick M. O’Brien, Jr., of Ko¬ dak’s Apparatus and Optical Division discussed X-ray recording cameras, their mechanism, and their suitability for X-ray motion pictures.
The session concluded with a semi¬ nar on the systems used for printing the final cinefluorographic records, by Kodak’s Gordon A. Chambers. Cham¬ bers explained how. in such work as medical study of the human throat, sound can he recorded simultaneously with the original negative exposure through use of a sync motor driving both the camera and recorder.
