But at other times certain radioscopic pictures will attractthe attention by some peculiarity of form or of careful study of these pictures added to that of clinicaldata will at times be decisive. Barjon had occasion to observe radioscopically sevencases of lung cancer and each time the radioscope gavevery interesting indications.
