«Mobile miniature X-ray evaluation and pneumoconiosis: the role of the Clinica del Lavoro in Milan (1941-1948)». Since the end of the 19th century, X-rays have been used to detect lung diseases. In Italy, 207,096 miniature chest radiographs were taken from 1941 to 1948. Traditional radiographs gave better results, but miniature chest radiographs were useful for screening. Indeed, the development of mobile miniature chest radiography units resulted in an improvement in mass X-rays screening for the detection of penumoconiosis. These mobile miniature units were mounted on a bus chassis, a solution that allowed to easily reach workers. The authors analyze some models of X-ray wagon units used by the “Clinica del Lavoro” in Milan in the 1950s. From the point of view of medical museology, the preservation of these devices requires appropriate spaces.
《移动微型X射线评估与尘肺病：米兰职业健康诊所的作用（1941 - 1948年）》。自19世纪末以来，X射线一直被用于检测肺部疾病。在意大利，1941年至1948年间共拍摄了207,096张微型胸部X光片。传统X光片效果更佳，但微型胸部X光片对筛查很有用。事实上，移动微型胸部X光摄影设备的发展使得大规模X射线筛查尘肺病的工作得到了改进。这些移动微型设备安装在公共汽车底盘上，这种解决方案能够轻松抵达工人身边。作者分析了20世纪50年代米兰“职业健康诊所”使用的一些X光车设备模型。从医学博物馆学的角度来看，保存这些设备需要合适的空间。
