We believe that shortly the Buckydiaphragm method will form a basis for ob-taining results on the spine which are en-tirely comparable to those obtained on theextremities, and at this time we wish torecord systematically a number of respectsin which the method has materially helpedus in our diagnostic efforts: I.

In the latter years we have all be-come used to seeing the most critical radio-graphs of the extremity bones, and we shallall admit, when we stop to think, that inthe most important spine cases the diagno-sis is often made possible by the last lo or20 per cent in the technical excellence of the metastatic carcinoma.
