FILMING HEART BEATS
There has been a development in X-ray cinematography which it is claimed will play a great part in the teaching of anatomy. Successful photographs of the beating of the heart have been taken by Mr. Frederick Melville, radiologist at London University College, and Mr. Warnford and Mr. Edwards, of the British Instructional Films. An official of the film company explaining the development said, ‘photographs of the heart have been taken by X-ray and subsequently pieced together and cinematographed. For a normal cinematograph picture of the beating of the heart it is to take sixteen pictures to the second, and until now we have not had a sufficiently powerful light or a lens rapid enough to cope with the exposure problem.
