X-ray research greatly improved by the so-called computer tomograph. With the help of this device it's now possible to use X-ray photography for soft tissue, like the brain. This X-ray technique has already been used for other bodyparts in the Saint Lucas hospital in Amsterdam. SHOTS: a man of whom X-rays of a.o. his brain are taken in hospital with the help of a computer tomograph; the X-ray tube of the computer tomograph; X-rays on the monitor; the working of the computer tomograph is explained with an instruction film.
