MASS RADIOGRAPHY
In July the Mass Radiography Unit No. 5A paid a visit
to this district operating at the Darby and Joan Hut, Pinner
Road, Northwood; Manor Farm Hall, Manor Farm Approach,
Ruislip; and Victoria Hall, Dulverton Road, Ruislip Manor. This
arrangement of operating in three localities of the district showed a
marked advance over previous visits. The following figures show
the number of persons X-rayed and those who were recalled for a
second examination. It must be emphasised that these further
examinations do not always mean infection from tuberculosis, but
may have regard to some other abnormality of the chest or the heart.
