MASS RADIOGRAPHY
I am also indebted to the Medical Director of the Surrey
Area of the South-west Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board Mass
Radiography Service for the following particulars of persons examined
and of abnormalities found in the Croydon C. B. area.
In contrast to 1960 when there were only small localised
surveys of factory groups, public mass X-Ray sessions were resumed
in 1961.
