AN INSTRUMENT FOR RAPID FLUOROSCOPIC FOREIGN- BODY LOCALIZATION BY COMBINED PARALLAX AND DOUBLE RING METHODS * BY EDWARD S. BLAINE, Captain, Medical Reserve Corps, U. S. Army NEW YORK IN THIS presentation the author ex-pressly disavows any claim to thediscovery of a new method of projectilelocalization. Historically it is a fact thatthe parallax method was one of the veryfirst to be proposed after the discovery of before the danger of such a proceeding wasknown and is absolutely not to be con-sidered at this day. The earliest use ofthe double-ring principle appears to havebeen made by Redner, who fastened smallpieces of metal on the skin at the points /ti?if iiyiumiiiuMiiniii»nDi&.\ jt tr,^^>JHIDJI!lillIlllI^lBi::rr:<^jfl.

This, of course, was of inlet and outlet of the x-ray beam as itpassed through the projectile. Rosenthaldevised a handle with a ring which hadan inker in its center while Angerer useda similar device, two such rings, how-ever, being used. Exner combined thedouble-ring method with the triangulationmethod and later used the parallax in placeof triangulation. From
